After the noise

Verse 1
The house still stands but it’s not a home
Just a frame that learned how to break
Every room holds a different ghost
Every breath feels like a mistake
You walk the halls like a stranger now
Like you don’t see what you became
And I shrink when I hear you loud
Even when you don’t say my name
Pre-Chorus
They say your mind was somewhere else
Like you were lost inside your head
But I was right there in your hands
And I still feel what wasn’t said
Chorus
Now there’s black in everything
In the corners, in my sleep
Every night it starts again
Every sound cuts too deep
You broke more than just my trust
You broke the shape of family
Now I’m lying in the dark
With what you left in me
Screaming through the walls again
Your voice against theirs in waves
And I’m counting every second
Like I’m buried but awake
Verse 2
Restless nights, I don’t even try
I just wait for it to begin
That rising storm downstairs again
That familiar kind of end
Your voice turns sharp, then disappears
Then comes back like a crash of glass
And I’m frozen in these years
While the moment never passes
Pre-Chorus
I remember who you were
And I hate that I still do
’Cause it makes it harder now
To survive the sound of you
Chorus
Now there’s black in everything
In the silence, in the noise
Every word you throw below
Still finds a way to destroy
You broke more than just that night
You broke what I believed
Now I’m breathing in the wreckage
Of what you did to me
Screaming through the walls again
Your voice against theirs in waves
And I’m shaking in my bed
Like I never really escaped
Bridge (fragile, unraveling)
Was it you…
Or something wearing your skin?
’Cause I keep trying to separate
Where you end and it begins
If you come back, will I know your face?
Or just the sound of what you’ve done?
How do I grieve someone still here…
When I still have to run?
Break (whispered, hollow)
I don’t feel safe… even when it’s quiet
Final Chorus (slow burn → collapse)
Now there’s black in everything
And it’s all I ever see
Every night rewrites itself
And it never lets me leave
You didn’t just lose your mind
You took mine piece by piece
Now I live inside the echo
Of a house that lost its peace
Screaming through the walls again
Even when it finally ends
It keeps ringing in my chest
Like it’s starting up again
Outro (empty, fading)
Morning comes, but I don’t wake
Just another night I couldn’t shake
You’re still here…
But we’re gone
