The night was made of glass and rain
We spoke in looks, not names
Our voices hid in fragile air
Like echoes too afraid to care
The static stopped, the wires still
The home we loved was gently killed And in the quiet truth was found
When we forgot sound,
when we forgot sound The world slowed down,
the lights fell soft
The pulse unbound,
when silence took its vow We learned somehow,
that hearts can still
be loud The city slept beneath the sky
No sirens left to testify
The speakers we once leaned upon
Now only breathe what's gone
Your breath was music low in the air
A song that only I could hear
And in that hush our love unwound
When we forgot sound,
maybe silence isn't lost
Maybe noise was just the cost Of feeling something true
Of hearing me and you
When we forgot sound,
when we forgot sound The world came round to what it was before
We drowned,
when every word decayed The quiet stayed,
and love still found its way
