Heavy Silence

[Verse 1]
Words get stuck, throat a cage, voice in shackles
Feelings buried deep, like fossils under gravel
Every "I'm fine" a lie, every pause a battle
Tongue trips, slips, emotions unravel
Heart a vault, you knock, but I can't find the key
Eyes scream truths that my lips won’t set free
You say, "Talk to me," but silence my decree
I’m the dam, and my love's the flooding sea
[Pre-Chorus]
You wait, you stare, you hope I’ll break
But I fold, I freeze, I can’t escape
[Chorus]
Heavy silence, it’s crushing my chest
Every word unspoken puts us to the test
You’re begging for answers, I’m failing the quest
Heavy silence, baby, it’s all I confess
[Verse 2]
My fears tiptoe, shadows creeping 'round the room
I know my quiet’s louder than the loudest boom
You’re the sun, and I’m a flower stuck in bloom
Trying to reach, but I wilt in the gloom
Your patience, a hymn, gospel in the air
But my sins of silence leave you in despair
Love’s a puzzle, but my piece ain’t there
I’m the broken string on a violin’s prayer
