Silence Has A Better Memory Than Me

Verse 1

I forget faces I swore I would keep

Lose whole summers inside of a week

But the quiet remembers my name

It repeats it when I try to escape

I move on like nothing was real

Still trip on the things I don’t feel

Pre Hook

Every room I leave behind

Keeps a version of my mind

Hook

Silence has a better memory than me

It don’t lie it don’t set me free

I can drown it in noise and regret

But it brings me back to what I forget

I keep running to who I might be

But silence has a better memory than me

Verse 2

I throw out the words I don’t say

Let old love rot in the hallway

Every goodbye I rehearsed

Still sounds like a line from a curse

I change towns I change friends

But the stillness remembers the end

Pre Hook

I erase whole parts of my life

But the dark keeps them alive

Hook

Silence has a better memory than me

It don’t bend when I try to believe

I can bury the truth in a dream

But it wakes me at three seventeen

I keep lying to who I will be

But silence has a better memory than me

Bridge

If I stop moving I feel it breathe

Like it waited for me to see

Every scar I pretended was gone

Starts talking the second I am alone

Final Hook

Silence has a better memory than me

It knows every lie I keep

I can shout I can run I can flee

But it never forgets who I am underneath

I keep hiding from who I might be

But silence has a better memory than me
