Silence Knows My Name (Acoustic)

There’s a quiet here

That never leaves

I don’t turn the TV on

Don’t fill the space with noise

I got used to hearing nothing

More than hearing voices

Every corner of this room

Knows the way I stay

Same chair, same window

Watching time just fade

I don’t say it out loud

But it’s all around

Silence knows my name

Better than anyone

It stays when they leave

It don’t come undone

Silence knows my name

Every side of me

The parts I don’t show

The things I don’t speak

I don’t check my phone as much

Don’t wait for it to light

I stopped expecting something

That never came at night

Even when I try to sleep

It’s there inside my head

Not loud, not heavy

Just something that never left

It don’t ask for anything

But it stays with me

Silence knows my name

Better than anyone

It stays when they leave

It don’t come undone

Silence knows my name

Every side of me

The parts I don’t show

The things I don’t speak

If I walked away from it

Would it follow still?

Or is it just the only thing

That knows me for real

Silence knows my name

And it don’t pretend

It don’t come and go

It just never ends

Silence knows my name

And I let it stay

‘Cause it’s been here longer

Than anyone anyway

There’s a quiet here

That feels like me
