They arrived without footsteps
The help I swallowed first
The no I kept folded
The ache I called nothing
Grief stood near the doorway
Anger kept its hands clean
Loneliness touched the ceiling
Regret would not sit down
No one had to call them
They knew the way back
All the feelings I buried
Filled the room with names
Not one of them was empty
Not one of them was shame
Mercy came in trembling
With sorrow at its side
A small unfinished sorry
Was still trying to arrive
I stood among them quietly
No longer turning away
Every silence had a body
Every wound had light
What I could not carry
Was waiting here tonight
Nothing screamed
Nothing broke
Still the air
Remembered all
I let them move around me
The fear, the love, the blame
They were never gone forever
They were only without a name

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.
