I kept my face arranged
Like nothing had gone through
A careful little smile
A weather I outgrew
You asked if I was fine
I gave the easiest lie
I Was Hurt, Quietly
Behind the gentle light
No broken glass around me
Just something dimming inside
I learned to lower pain
Until it made no sound
I let the moment pass
And carried it around
Nobody saw the weight
Because I held it well
The wound stayed under my skin
Wearing a calmer name
I walked through every hallway
Looking almost the same
There was no scene
No final word
Just every small hurt
Going unheard
Now I touch the silence
Where the ache had been
Not to make it louder
Just to let it in

I Almost Heard Myself
Ydessa Vorn
In this first album, words that could never be voiced throughout life are transformed one by one into quiet songs.
Wrapped in piano, strings, choir-like voices, and deep reverberation, the album portrays them as emotions left behind in silence.
