(Verse 1) The evening comes to a happy end, a gentle hush descends, Another day slips by, on fragile ends. You sit across the room, phone in hand, A quiet island in a shifting land. No words are spoken, just the clock’s gentle chime, A heavy stillness marking passing time. And in that space, where echoes used to dwell, A quiet story only shadows tell.

(Chorus) The silence in you is the silence in me, A mirror reflecting what we used to be. A vast, unspoken, uncrossable sea, The silence in you is the silence in me.

(Verse 2) I trace the patterns on the faded wall, Remember laughter, rising, standing tall. A thousand memories, like ghosts, they creep, From slumbering moments, buried oh so deep. I long to break the spell, to find a sound, To fill the empty space that gathers ’round. But every breath I take feels thin and cold, Another story left forever untold.

(Chorus) The silence in you is the silence in me, A mirror reflecting what we used to be. A vast, unspoken, uncrossable sea, The silence in you is the silence in me.

(Bridge) Is it a fortress built to keep us safe from pain? Or a slow erosion, washed by silent rain? I reach, but find no hand, no comforting embrace, Just empty air within this hollow space. The unspoken truths, they weigh us down, A lonely quiet in this crowded town.

(Chorus) The silence in you is the silence in me, A mirror reflecting what we used to be. A vast, unspoken, uncrossable sea, The silence in you is the silence in me.

(Outro) And as the night grows deep, and stars appear, The quiet whispers of a fading year. The silence… in you… Is the silence… in me… Just silence… for eternity.
