Between the Silence and the Sea

There’s a room inside my chest,

where the clocks forgot to run.

Windows wide to let light in,

but the warmth just never comes.

I hide my truths in folded notes,

locked behind my quiet eyes.

Learned to smile just like a shield,

and call my pain “disguise.”

(Pre-Chorus)

Sometimes I feel like I’m the echo

of someone I used to be.

Walk so calm through every storm,

but the rain still lives in me.

(Chorus)

Between the silence and the sea,

I let my fears breathe out of me.

And when the tide begins to pull,

I learn to float — not flee.

There are chains you never see,

but they keep me company.

Still I move, still I bleed,

still I dream to be free.

(Verse 2)

There are nights that look me over,

like they know what I’ve done wrong.

And I lie to my reflection,

saying “I’m fine,” just to move on.

The past still calls me softly,

in a voice I can’t unhear.

But I’ve learned to answer kindly,

not in anger, not in fear.

(Pre-Chorus)

Once I was a hollow home,

light on, but no one near.

Now I walk these empty halls,

learning love from what was mere.

(Chorus)

Between the silence and the sea,

I let my fears breathe out of me.

And when the tide begins to pull,

I learn to float — not flee.

There are chains you never see,

but they keep me company.

Still I move, still I bleed,

still I dream to be free.

(Bridge – whispered tone)

If someday I fade with the waves,

don’t mistake it for escape.

Some wounds don’t close — they whisper,

teaching peace through the ache.

(Outro – soft, resigned)

If the wind ever calls my name,

may it carry what’s left of me.

’Cause sometimes what we lose in pain

was never meant to be.
