[Verse 1]
You trace my name
In the fog on your screen
Half-typed secrets
That you never send to me
Your shadow moves
Like it lives in my room
I hear my phone breathe
In the middle of the gloom
[Chorus]
You put your teeth in the silence
Bite down on every word I hide
Haunt every space in the quiet
Like you were buried in the walls of my mind
You put your teeth in the silence
Chew through the calm ’til it bleeds
I’m not alone in the silence
You’re every echo in me
[Verse 2]
You flip the switch
Leave the light almost out
That half-dark doorway
Is the shape of your doubt
You leave your coat
On the back of my chair
So when the room chills
It feels like you’re still there
[Chorus]
You put your teeth in the silence
Bite down on every word I hide
Haunt every space in the quiet
Like you were buried in the walls of my mind
You put your teeth in the silence
Chew through the calm ’til it bleeds
I’m not alone in the silence
You’re every echo in me
[Bridge]
Say you’re gone
Then
Why’s the air so heavy?
Why’s my own reflection
Looking back like you?
I keep my mouth shut
’cause if I breathe too steady
I’m scared you’ll answer
From the empty room (hey)
[Chorus]
You put your teeth in the silence
Bite down on every word I hide
Haunt every space in the quiet
Like you were buried in the walls of my mind
You put your teeth in the silence
Chew through the calm ’til it bleeds
I’m not alone in the silence
You’re every echo in me
