Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I left the light on like it might bring me back But the room's just cold and the walls still crack Every word I said still hangs like smoke And I breathe it in until I choke My hands shake when I sit too still Like there's something buried I forgot to feel I keep pretending that I’ve moved on But I flinch at every quiet song [Chorus] There's nothing in the silence But I keep listening anyway I scream inside with violence And no one hears a thing I say They call it healing, I call it hiding If I’m surviving, why’s it feel like dying? There’s nothing in the silence But I stay [Verse 2] You wouldn’t know it just by looking But I’m stitched with broken things I laugh too loud to drown the static And I bite down hard when I start to sink I’ve burned through every friend I trusted Told myself it’s self-defense But now the mirror won’t look back And I don’t know what that reflects [Chorus] There's nothing in the silence But I keep listening anyway I scream inside with violence And no one hears a thing I say They call it healing, I call it hiding If I’m surviving, why’s it feel like dying? There’s nothing in the silence But I stay [Bridge] I’m not waiting for a light to save me I’ve stopped believing I’m worth the cost But if you ever feel this empty At least you’ll know you’re not lost [Final Chorus] There’s nothing in the silence But maybe that’s where I belong If I can’t fix what’s broken Then maybe silence can be strong They call it healing, I call it fighting If I’m alive, why’s it still so frightening? There’s nothing in the silence But I… I stay
