Shape of Silence

Verse 1

Midnight dissolves into an amber haze

Somewhere past the neon of a city gone soft

I trace the frequency before it learns our names

And fold the shadows into something almost god

Smoke writes its scripture on the windowpane

Your silhouette is scripture bending light

We are the afterimage of a brief divine

A velvet hush on the long lip of the night

Pre-Chorus

And I breathe the dark like it's a language I forgot

Every syllable a lantern to a place I never left

Chorus

Teach me the shape of silence

Let it echo where the burning used to live

I hold the hours like a votive in my palm

And cast them slow into the river of your skin

Teach me the shape of silence

Let it echo where the burning used to live

Verse 2

Beneath the glass of sleep the currents hum

A pendulum of unspoken ancient things

Your voice arrives like weather over pale blue sun

And every breath I borrow learns to sing

The clock becomes a rumor on the wall

Time bends its spine around your quiet wrist

I am a vessel humming at the seams

Awake inside the myth of your existence

Pre-Chorus

And I drink the dark like a potion I deserve

Every drop a testament to souls that never slept

Chorus

Teach me the shape of silence

Let it echo where the burning used to live

I hold the hours like a votive in my palm

And cast them slow into the river of your skin

Teach me the shape of silence

Let it echo where the burning used to live

Bridge

We are the parenthesis around the void

A whispered science only saints begin to afford

I am the dusk you memorized before the fall

And you are the answer I would never name at all

Chorus

Teach me the shape of silence

Let it echo where the burning used to live

I hold the hours like a votive in my palm

And cast them slow into the river of your skin

Teach me the shape of silence

Let it echo where the burning used to live

Let it echo

Let it echo
