You said the quiet was our friend,
but it became the way we end
The words we lost still haunt the air,
like ghosts that know we're unaware
The lights went out but left a flame
that flickers every time I say your name
No smoke, no sound, just the turn
of the silence that burns
Maybe pain was meant to stay when every echo fades away
It's the silence that burns when the memory turns
Through the static, through the blur,
you're the wound I still prefer
It's the quiet that
learns how the lost hearts return
No words,
no concern,
just the silence that burns
The neon hum still lights your face,
each shadow moves to fill your place
The air is thick with what we were,
the noise forgot but I remember
You built your peace on broken sound
and left me where no pulse is found
Still the embers twist and yearn in the silence that burns
And every breath a spark contains,
still whispering your coded name
It's the silence that burns
You talk about me,
you know my face,
not my fears You see my laugh,
not my tears
You notice my style,
not my struggles You hear my voice,
not my thoughts
You recognize my name,
not my journey
The sun never dries the sea
It's the silence that burns
when no one returns Through the echoes,
through the blur,
you're the ache I still prefer
No light,
no concern,
just the truth we unlearn in the silence
that burns
