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.
