Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) Came from a place where the walls felt tight Anger in my chest, couldn’t sleep at night Felt alone even when I wasn’t by myself Like my whole world stuck on a broken shelf Every word hit heavy, every silence loud Tried to act strong, but I was breaking down Didn’t know where to go, didn’t know who to trust Everything felt fake, everything felt dust (Verse 2) You were in your room, shut off from the light Fighting your demons in the dead of night World went quiet when she walked away But you found yourself in that empty space Turned all that pain into something strong Didn’t fold under it, you carried on Now I see you different, calm and clear Like you built your peace from the things you feared (Chorus) Now we sit in the silence, let the past fade out No need for words, we don’t gotta shout Pain still there but it don’t control Got a little more light in a heavy soul From alone to together, we found a way Through the darkest nights to a brighter day Yeah we both got scars, yeah we both got smoke But we found our peace in the words unspoken (Verse 3) You don’t say much, but I understand Every look you give, every steady hand You showed me strength don’t mean you fight Sometimes it’s just making it through the night Taught me how to breathe when my chest felt tight How to face the dark without losing light Not by yelling, not by force But by staying steady, staying on course (Bridge) We don’t run from it, we just sit and face it All that pain, yeah we had to trace it Turned our past into something real Not just wounds, but a way to heal (Chorus) Now we sit in the silence, let the past fade out No need for words, we don’t gotta shout Pain still there but it don’t control Got a little more light in a heavy soul From alone to together, we found a way Through the darkest nights to a brighter day Yeah we both got scars, yeah we both got smoke But we found our peace in the words unspoken (Outro) Used to feel lost, now I feel seen Somewhere in between who I was and who I’ll be And if I make it out, if I finally cope It started right here… in that quiet smoke
