Lyrics
The Silence I Sleep In
The walls don't whisper, they just stare
No comfort in the midnight air
I used to dream, now I just drift
Through hours that never seem to lift
No lullaby, no voice, no flame
Just shadows that forget my name
The silence I sleep in, it's colder than stone
It wraps me in stillness, leaves me alone
No echo, no heartbeat, no sin to forgive
The silence I sleep in — too quiet to live
I count the cracks across the floor
Each one a thought I don't explore
The ceiling holds a thousand sighs
From nights I never said goodbye
No knock, no call, no light, no sound
Just me and the weight that pulls me down
The silence I sleep in, it hums like regret
A song with no ending, a pain I forget
No rhythm, no reason, no promise to keep
The silence I sleep in — too heavy to sleep
I built this quiet, brick by brick
A fortress made of moments sick
And now I lie in what I made
A bed of hush, a heart decayed
The silence I sleep in, it's all that I know
It cradles my sorrow, it won't let me go
No mercy, no morning, no breath left to spend
The silence I sleep in — my only true friend
No One Waits at the End
I packed my hope in a paper skin
Tied it tight with threads worn thin
I walked the miles, I braved the bend
But for me no one waits at the end
I whispered names to the empty air
Left pieces of me everywhere
I built a bridge with words I penned
Still, no one waits at the end
No arms to catch me, no light to defend
Just silence that doesn't pretend
I kept the faith, I tried to transcend
But no one… no one waits at the end
I sang to stars that never heard
I prayed to gods that blurred my words
I gave my all, I tried to mend
But no one waits at the end
Maybe I was meant to break
To learn how much a soul can take
To walk alone, to not depend
On someone waiting at the end
No arms to catch me, no light to defend
Just silence that doesn't pretend
I kept the faith, I tried to transcend
But no one… no one waits at the end
So I'll keep walking, no need to pretend
I know now — no one waits at the end
I Forgot How to Beg
I used to kneel with open hands
Whisper prayers no one understands
I used to cry for mercy's thread
Now I just sleep with ghosts instead
I wore my wounds like sacred cloth
Believed in grace, believed in loss
But every plea just fed the flame
And left me choking on my name
I forgot how to beg, how to break, how to bend
How to reach for a hand that won't pretend
I'm past the asking, past the ache
I forgot how to beg — for my own sake
I used to barter love for pain
Trade my silence for the rain
But now the storm just passes through
And I don't chase what I once knew
There's no altar left to kneel
No promise left to feel
No voice that answers back
Just echoes in the black
I forgot how to beg, how to bleed, how to pray
How to hope someone might stay
I'm past the pleading, past the quake
I forgot how to beg — and I won't remake
So let the silence take its throne
I'll face the dark, I'll walk alone
Ashes Where I Used to Be
I tore the pages from my name
Let the wind forget my flame
I scattered truth across the sea
Now there's ashes where I used to be
I wore a face I couldn't keep
Buried it in silence deep
No mirror shows what once was me
Just ashes where I used to be
No echo, no trace
No memory to chase
I burned it all to set me free
Now there's ashes where I used to be
I walked away from every thread
Unstitched the life I used to tread
No roots, no voice, no legacy
Just ashes where I used to be
I didn't vanish — I dissolved
A mystery never solved
No one mourns what they can't see
Just ashes where I used to be
No echo, no trace
No memory to chase
I burned it all to set me free
Now there's ashes where I used to be
The Light Lied to Me
It shimmered like a promise in the dark
A golden thread, a glowing mark
I followed it through shattered glass
Believing pain would come to pass
It whispered truths I longed to hear
Dressed my doubt in something clear
But every step just fed the flame
And left me colder than I came
The light lied to me — said I'd be free
Said love would rise from misery
But all it gave was empty heat
A cruel mirage beneath my feet
I built my hope on beams of gold
But they collapsed, too weak to hold
Now I sit in shadows deep
Where broken dreams are laid to sleep
I touched the sun, it burned my skin
I let it in, I let it win
Now I know what light can be
A mask for pain, a mockery
The light lied to me — it wore a crown
But led me here to burn me down
No grace, no truth, no sanctuary
Just the light… and its cruelty
So I'll walk blind, I'll walk slow
No more chasing what won't glow
I Don’t Cry for Ghosts
You haunt the corners of my mind
But I don't turn, I don't rewind
Your voice is just a distant hum
A song I've long stopped singing from
I used to bleed for every trace
Of love that time refused to erase
But now your name's a hollow sound
A whisper buried underground
I don't cry for ghosts, not anymore
I've closed the windows, locked the door
You had your time, you had your throne
But I've reclaimed what I call my own
I wore your memory like a chain
Mistook the rust for sacred pain
But freedom tastes like letting go
Of shadows I no longer owe
You flicker in the quiet night
But I don't chase your fading light
I've learned to sleep without your flame
To breathe without your broken name
I don't cry for ghosts, not anymore
I've swept your ashes off the floor
No more mourning what decayed
I walk in light — unafraid
So haunt someone else, if you must
I've buried you beneath my trust
This Room Has No Doors
Four walls, no windows, no sky to pretend
The ceiling just watches, it doesn't defend
I scream in silence, but nothing replies
Just echoes that circle and never die
The air is thick with things I've said
Regrets that linger, dreams long dead
I trace the cracks like maps to grace
But every line just leads to this place
This room has no doors, no way to escape
No key, no handle, no mercy-shaped shape
I built it with sorrow, I sealed it with shame
Now I live in the echo that calls my name
The light here flickers, but never stays
It teases hope, then slips away
I count the hours in breaths I fake
Each one a promise I couldn't make
I tried to dig, I tried to burn
But every wall refused to turn
It's not a prison made of stone
It's made of everything I've known
This room has no doors, no exit, no end
Just me and the ghosts I used to defend
No rescue, no reason, no break in the floor
Just this room… and nothing more
So I sit in the still, where the silence pours
In this room — this room with no doors
Even Shadows Leave Me
I used to walk with silence near
A quiet friend I held sincere
But now the hush won't stay too long
It fades before I finish the song
The light once cast a shape of me
A flicker on the wall, set free
But now the dusk won't even try
To trace the outline as I cry
Even shadows leave me — when I need them most
No flicker, no echo, not even a ghost
I'm too hollow, too far gone
Even shadows leave me — I walk alone
I called to dreams that used to stay
But they dissolved and slipped away
I reached for warmth in memory's thread
But found it frayed and cold instead
I'm not afraid of being seen
I'm just unseen in every scene
Not even absence wants my name
I'm not a loss — I'm just a frame
Even shadows leave me — when the light is low
No shape to follow, no place to go
I'm too quiet, too undone
Even shadows leave me — I walk with none
So let the dark forget I'm here
Even shadows disappear
I’m Not Waiting Anymore
I used to sit by the windowpane
Counting the drops, naming the pain
I held my breath for a knock, a sign
But silence was always the only line
I kept the table set for two
Lit the candles, just for you
But the flame grew tired, the wax ran thin
And I learned how to live within
I'm not waiting anymore
Not for footsteps at my door
Not for words you'll never send
Not for love that won't defend
I've closed the book, I've burned the lore
I'm not waiting anymore
I wore hope like a second skin
Stitched with dreams I couldn't win
But longing turned to rust and dust
And I let go of what I'd trust
It's not anger, it's not spite
Just the end of holding tight
I'm not bitter, I'm not torn
Just done with being worn
I'm not waiting anymore
Not for meaning in the war
Not for answers in the ache
Not for hearts that only break
I've found my peace on this cold floor
I'm not waiting anymore
So if you come, you'll find me gone
I've moved beyond what I leaned on
The Hurt I Made My Home
I hung my coat on sorrow's hook
Carved my name in every nook
The walls remember every moan
In the hurt I made my home
I swept the floor with broken dreams
Stacked regrets in quiet seams
No need for light, no need to roam
I live inside the hurt I made my home
It doesn't scream, it doesn't fight
It tucks me in, it holds me tight
No comfort here, no place to roam
Just the hurt I made my home
I painted grief in shades of grey
Let every joy just fade away
The windows fog, the clocks disown
Time stands still in the hurt I made my home
I tried to leave, I tried to burn
But pain was all that would return
So I stopped knocking, stopped the roam
And stayed inside the hurt I made my home
It doesn't heal, it doesn't mend
But it's the only faithful friend
No comfort here, no place to roam
Just the hurt I made my home
So if you find me wrapped in stone
Know I chose the hurt I made my home
Nothing Left to Break
They shattered my heart, then cracked my pride
Tore down the walls I used to hide
I stood in the wreckage, soaked in ache
But now there's nothing left to break
I gave my trust like fragile glass
Watched it fall, watched it pass
No more illusions, no more stake
Just silence — nothing left to break
Nothing left to break, no bone, no flame
No name to curse, no one to blame
I've lost the fight, I've lost the ache
But I'm still here — nothing left to break
I wore my scars like second skin
Let every wound invite the wind
But now the storm just rolls on by
I don't flinch, I don't cry
You can't hurt what's already gone
I'm not weak — I'm just withdrawn
I've made peace with every quake
There's nothing left… nothing left to break
Nothing left to break, no thread to fray
No dream to steal, no debt to pay
I've burned the map, I've walked the lake
And I'm still standing — nothing left to break
So take your fire, take your stake
I've become the ruin you couldn't make
You Can't Hurt Me (Anymore)
I wore your words like armor, thought they'd keep me safe
But every line you whispered carved another ache
You painted love in shadows, dressed it up in blame
Now I see the truth beneath your masquerade
I used to break at every storm you made
But I've rebuilt with steel where all I had was clay
You can't hurt me anymore
I've closed that open door
Your silence, your fire, your twisted lore
They don't reach me like before
I've found my voice, I've claimed the floor
You can't hurt me anymore
I traced your chaos like a map to peace
But every turn just led me to defeat
Now I walk a road you'll never know
Lit by the light of letting go
I used to bend until I disappeared
But now I stand in everything I feared
You can't hurt me anymore
I've closed that open door
Your silence, your fire, your twisted lore
They don't reach me like before
I've found my voice, I've claimed the floor
You can't hurt me anymore
I'm not your echo, not your cage
I've burned the script, I've turned the page
No more waiting, no more war
I'm not yours to break anymore
You can't hurt me anymore
I've closed that open door
Your silence, your fire, your twisted lore
They don't reach me like before
I've found my voice, I've claimed the floor
You can't hurt me anymore
