Lyrics

This house is breathing, but no one’s home
The shadows memorize my tone
Curtains shiver like they know
I’ve been waiting far too long

And I hear you in the crawlspace
Not your voice—just the echo of grace
It’s cold where the light won’t go
But I stay, I stay, I stay

And I don’t scream anymore
I let the silence grow teeth
I let the floorboards confess
What I can’t even speak
And if you find me still here
With my name scratched in ash
You’ll know the fire went quiet
But it never passed

I tried to scrub the mirror clean
But it keeps showing what was seen
And I touch the walls like they’re skin
Like they’ll forgive me, let me in

The windows blink like dying stars
And your name is inked in the scars
The air is thick with “almost free”
But I stay, I stay, I stay

And I don’t scream anymore
I let the silence grow teeth
I let the floorboards confess
What I can’t even speak
And if you find me still here
With my name scratched in ash
You’ll know the fire went quiet
But it never passed

Breathe in
Don’t wake the dust
Leave me where the light never was

And I don’t scream anymore
I let the silence grow teeth
I let the floorboards confess
What I can’t even speak
And if you find me still here
With my name scratched in ash
You’ll know the fire went quiet
But it never passed
