Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Silence is a lonely story Written on the ceiling cracks Coffee stains and folded blankets All the words I can’t take back [Chorus] Silence is a lonely story Every page just turns itself All these chapters in my chest Gather dust on fading shelves If I speak I might destroy it If I don’t You’ll never know me So I hold my breath and wait Inside this lonely story [Verse 2] Your old sweater on the chair Keeps my shadow company I rehearse the things I’d tell you To an empty balcony [Chorus] Silence is a lonely story Every page just turns itself All these chapters in my chest Gather dust on fading shelves If I speak I might destroy it If I don’t You’ll never know me So I hold my breath and wait Inside this lonely story

folk, Intimate solo grand piano ballad, male vocals close and dry like a confessional booth. Sparse left-hand chords with occasional low-octave swells; right hand traces fragile, singing melodies. Verses stay hushed and conversational, chorus blooms with wider voicings and lingering pedal, ending on a suspended, unresolved chord that hangs in the air.
