Verse 1]
Empty rooms where the silence grows,
Carrying a weight that nobody knows.
Staring at the clock as the hours crawl,
Listening for a voice that doesn't call.
Tried to build a bridge over broken ground,
But the only thing I hear is the quiet sound.
[Verse 2]
Looking at the world through a fogged-up glass,
Waiting for the heavy nights to pass.
Footsteps echo down an empty lane,
Trying to find a shelter from the rain.
Every little memory feels so deep,
A secret that the shadows keep.
[Verse 3]
Wandering through streets where the streetlights glow,
Holding onto things that I used to know.
The wind blows cold, but the heart stays still,
Looking for a warmth that it cannot feel.
Just a lone soul walking in the midnight gray,
Wishing all the ache would just drift away.
Verse 4]
Tracing faded lines on a photo frame,
Whispering a word that sounds like a name.
The city lights flicker, but the dark stays near,
Leaving only echoes in a room full of fear.
Counted every second since you walked out the door,
Standing in the places where we don't live anymore.
[Verse 5]
Tired of the pretenses and playing the part,
Trying to heal what was torn apart.
Footsteps heavy on the concrete floor,
Wondering what I’m even waiting for.
The night moves slow while the world sleeps tight,
Just another phantom chasing after the light.
[Verse 6]
Smoke in the air and a cold cup of tea,
Looking at the person that I used to be.
Streetlights dim as the morning gets close,
Haunted by the things that I miss the most.
No clear answers in the quiet gray,
Just watching all the sadness wash away.
[Outro]
The streetlights dim as the shadows fade,
Settling the debt that the silence paid.
No more searching through the midnight cold,
Just letting go of the stories told.
I breathe it out...
And let the quiet take me home.
