The
screen goes dark and the quiet comes
Like water rising in my lungs
Is ringing where the noise had been
The ghost of sound against my skin This is the silence after
The house settles its bones This is the space you left here
When you went home
And the guitar leans against the wall
Your cup's still warm out in the hall
I hear the wood
contract inside The weight of hours passing by
This is the silence after
The house settles its bones
This is the space you left here
When you went home
And I'm listening
to the absence To the echo
of your presence
The ringing fades, it doesn't leave
It hums beneath each breath I breathe
This is the silence after
This is the silence after
