Lyric

The Apology Stayed in My Throat

Ydessa Vorn

I carried a word for you

Past the final door

It lived behind my teeth

And never became yours

I waited for a moment

The moment did not stay

I should have let it reach you

Before the room went cold

Now every unsaid mercy

Is something I still hold

Your name was on the table

Beside the evening light

I almost broke the silence

Then folded back inside

Some doors close gently

Still they do not open

The sorrow had no witness

It waited in my chest

I wore a quiet face

And failed you with the rest

Not enough

To miss you now

Not enough

To know how

I speak it to the ceiling

Where no one answers back

A little late forgiveness

Falling through the cracks

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.
