The Silence That Binds Us
A part of me fractures Each time I conjure the warmth The fleeting echo of your touch Another part, larger, looming A compass misplaced Whispers through the cracks "Search deeper, reach further Don't let the stillness swallow you Search deeper Reach further Don't let the stillness swallow you Swallow you" The fields I've sown yield nothing but silence The shadows lengthen The soil hardens "Search deeper, reach further Don't let thе stillness swallow you Search deeper Rеach further Don't let the stillness swallow you" Yet the void does not echo The fragments do not fit Search deeper Will there be anything left to find? Reach further Don't let the stillness swallow you Search deeper Will there be anything left to find? Reach further Don't let the stillness swallow you A part of me fractures Each time I conjure the warmth The fleeting echo of your touch An open wound, a depthless cut Bleeding the memory of what cannot be Of no one who will ever be you Never be you

I named you the keeper of my soul A fragile guardian I dared to trust But wounds sharp and jagged Etch their lessons into my skin Each scar is a story I never wanted to learn Should I thank you for the friction? The slow erosion of my innocence? My innocence You dropped jewels I couldn't hold Lost treasures in the wake of love undone I hate how the world takes what I cherish Steals it like whispers stolen by the wind It feels as though the universe conspires To erasе the traces of my touch But wounds sharp and jagged Etch thеir lessons into my skin Each scar is a story I never wanted to learn To strip me of the weight of memory As if forgiving could ever be a gift The darkness presses against my chest Its shadows crawl through my veins You dropped jewels I couldn't hold Lost treasures in the wake of love undone Not to cleanse, but to stain Rain falls, not to cleanse, but to stain Each drop is a reminder of what is gone You dropped jewels I couldn't hold Lost treasures in the wake of love undone Of what was Of who I was Before the world taught me how to let go of what was Before the world taught me how to let go of what was

Under silent skies we wander No solace and no home Chasing dreams that slip away Those we can't hold onto Hope and sorrow drag us under to stay We are alone in the vast unknown Desperate souls in a world of stone We, we fight the night with dreams in sight Fade away like morning light We are alone in the vast unknown Desperate souls in a world of stone We, we fight the night with dreams in sight Fade away like morning light In this heavy silence, our hearts start to break Carrying the burden of every mistake On every breath we take, a struggle, a fading trace In the depths of despair It feels like no one is there We are alone, caught in the web of our thoughts The dusk wraps around us like a shroud In a world that is suffocating Our voices wither into the distance Unheard We are alone in the vast unknown Desperate souls in a world of stone We, we fight the night with dreams in sight Fade away like morning light We are alone in the vast unknown Desperate souls in a world of stone We, we fight the night with dreams in sight Fade away like morning light

I bear the seed of ruin A burden too heavy, too sharp to let go What was golden has turned to ash Elysium crumbled beneath my grasp And all that remains is dust Each step sinking me deeper into silence The desert grows inside me A relic of a broken promise I scream into the emptiness But my voice dissolves into nothing, nothing I bear the seed of ruin A burden too heavy, too sharp to let go What was golden has turned to ash Elysium crumbled beneath my grasp And all that remains is dust I scream into the emptiness But my voice dissolves into nothing One more second with you That wish is denied And I am left alone With the ashes of my mind Forever was her name Yet forever can't be mine Regret coils in my chest Squeezing every breath into despair I bear the seed of ruin A burden too heavy, too sharp to let go What was golden has turned to ash Elysium crumbled beneath my grasp And all that remains is dust I would give everything My body, my soul, my fleeting moments of hope I bear the seed of ruin A burden too heavy, too sharp to let go What was golden has turned to ash Elysium crumbled beneath my grasp And all that remains is dust

Promises broken like shattered glass A heart betrayed, forever scarred A soul weighed down by sorrow's tide A spirit crushed where hope has died Lost in the wreckage, a wounded soul Searching for answers, beyond control A trust once given now shattered and torn A bond broken, a love forlorn The pain of betrayal, a heavy load A future uncertain, a lonely road A victim of deception without a shame A life turned upside down, a burning flame The embers of trust now cold and dead A heart shattered, a spirit fled A world turned upside down, a shattered dream A life in ruins, a broken scene The pain of betrayal, misery awaits A future uncertain, doomed fate Lost in the wreckage, a wounded soul Searching for answers, beyond control A trust once given now shattered and torn A bond broken, a love forlorn The pain of betrayal, a heavy load A future uncertain, a lonely road A victim of deception without a shame A life turned upside down, a burning flame The embers of trust now cold and dead A heart shattered, a spirit fled

I have lost a life that I never truly lived Filled with sorrow and pain inside this broken body Embraced by the thorns of your loss Surrounded by the sharp memories of your absence I have lost a life that I never truly lived Filled with sorrow and pain inside this miserable body Embraced by the thorns of your loss Surrounded by the sharp memories of your absence Fallen behind again Fallen behind again These wounds are everlasting, soul remains unhealed I am the fallen one, wishes to make things undone I am the longing one, stained in the shadows of grief I am the fallen one, wishes to make things undone I am the longing one, stained in the shadows of grief Words betray me Twisting in my throat whenever I speak Darken my hope with your curtains Take my remaining sanity Though we walk separate paths and we drift apart With all the emptiness we left behind You'll always be mine, always and never Words betray me Twisting in my throat whenever I speak

In the quiet, where whispers softly fall I search for strength within the growing night How can you see when darkness blinds your sight? Wondering will there be anything left of me when you are gone? With a soul forsaken, I walk on thorns The thorns cannot cut deeper Deeper than the wounds engraved in me Nothing more to bleed The pain no longer stings Not anymore How can you feel when emotions start to fade? Dreaming, awaiting The day we will meet again, one day Dreaming, awaiting The day we will meet again, one day In thе quiet, where whispеrs softly fall I search for strength within the growing night How can you see when darkness blinds your sight? Wondering will there be anything left of me when you are gone? Here alone I stand in this desolate dream Where time suspended stands still Embraced by solitude with a dimming vision In a dawn without a sun Haunted by the echoes of the past Not anymore The pain no longer stings How can you feel when emotions start to fade? Start to fade Silence prevails (How could you tell?) Surrounded by emptiness (My sanity slips away) A cold wind whips through my face (What is truth?) A sad melody (What is a lie?) Carrying memories Of a one that is lost, never forgotten What is truth And what is a lie?

In the silence again Tracing shadows of what we were Echoes of words left unsaid And I am alone When I close my eyes I can still see The way you used to smile at me Faded memories and broken dreams And the emptiness that haunts me The fire that once burned is just a fade And in the darkness, I slowly break In the silence again Tracing shadows of what we were Echoes of words left unsaid And I am alonе You can't believe what you'vе meant to me We become what we never wanted Trapped in the silence of our mistakes Silent as the wave that gently touches the shore Silent as the moments we will never have once more Silent as the dawn that fades each day Silent as my heart each time you go, you go away
