No Silence Left

(quiet, minimal, unsettling setup)

If I listen too closely

I start to hear things I shouldn’t

Not words… just weight

Behind every glance

Maybe it’s better not to know

Maybe it’s better I don’t

If I could hear what you don’t say

I’d never feel far away

But I’d lose you all the same

Inside your mind, inside your name

Every thought you try to hide

Would be standing right beside

No doors left to close or keep

Just everything you think of me

There’d be no silence left in you

No place your mind could slip me through

I’d hear the love, I’d hear the lie

Both at the same time in your mind

No silence left in me

No way to unhear what I see

The closer I get to you

The further I fall right through

You smile, but I would know the crack

The thought you take but take back

The moment doubt steps in too near

Before it even becomes clear

And I would hear what you don’t mean

The quiet fear behind the scene

Not betrayal, not a sin

Just being human underneath your skin

There’d be no silence left in you

No place your mind could slip me through

I’d hear the love, I’d hear the lie

Both alive inside your mind

No silence left in me

Just everything I shouldn’t see

The closer I get to you

The more I lose what holds me through

We think we want to know it all

But truth without a wall will fall

Even love needs space to breathe

Even hearts need what they leave

If I heard every passing thought

Every war your silence fought

I’d know you more than I should

And still not feel understood

There’d be no silence left in you

No place for mystery to move through

I’d hear the world behind your eyes

And watch what love slowly dies

No silence left in me

Just too much truth to ever be free

The closer I get to you

The less I know what’s real or true

If I ever stopped hearing

Would I finally be alone

Or would I just realize

I was never out of your mind

And maybe that’s the curse

Not distance… but too much closeness

No silence left anywhere

To hide inside
