They told me to lower the flame
So I learned to carry smoke
I made a chapel of my ribs
And locked the red inside
I was not cruel
I was awake
Every “calm down” built a wall
Every wall remembered me
I pressed my teeth into silence
And called it being kind
But kindness can rot
When truth is buried under it
The Anger Was Still Holy
Even under my skin
Even without a witness
Even when I let them win
No curse
No scream
Just a wound
Standing up
I do not want revenge
I want the room to know
Something sacred was injured
And nobody bowed
I forgive nothing tonight
I only stop apologizing
Let the quiet open
Let the red become a name
What I buried to be gentle
Was never mine to shame

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.
