Static and silence

Verse 1
Akira walks with her head down low
Headphones on, nowhere to go
World too loud, so she fades away
Hides in songs she’ll never say
Henry’s got a guitar in hand
Broken strings they don’t understand
Every chord is a place to hide
From all the words he keeps inside
Pre-Chorus
Two lost souls in the same hallway
Different scars but the same gray day
Chorus
You were static in my silence
A quiet spark in all my violence
Didn’t know that I was sinking
‘Til you heard the way I’m thinking
We don’t have to say a thing
Your voice lives in everything
In the dark, you found me then
Now I’m not alone again
Verse 2
Akira hums but it’s barely there
Like she’s scared of the open air
Every step feels paper-thin
Like the world might cave her in
Henry plays but his hands still shake
Every note is a risk to take
Echoes of a voice that said
“You’ll never be enough,” in his head
Pre-Chorus
But they met in the in-between
Where it hurts but it’s still unseen
Chorus
You were static in my silence
A quiet spark in all my violence
Didn’t know that I was sinking
‘Til you heard the way I’m thinking
We don’t have to say a thing
Your voice lives in everything
In the dark, you found me then
Now I’m not alone again
Bridge
No big words, no perfect lines
Just your hand reaching into mine
If we break, we’ll break as two
Less alone than we once knew
Soft Breakdown
(Whispered vibe)
Stay… just stay a little longer
We don’t have to be stronger
Final Chorus
You were music in my quiet
The only place I didn’t fight it
Piece by piece, you pulled me through
I found a softer world with you
Even if the light gets thin
I’ll still hear you under my skin
In the dark, you found me then
I won’t lose you again
