Lyric

After every room went quiet

After every name grew thin

I felt something move inside me

Like a door opening

It was not a perfect answer

It was not a holy sign

Just a sound beneath the damage

Finding its way back to mine

I stood still

I let it near

For the first time

I did not disappear

I Almost Heard Myself

Under all the years I kept

Not loud enough to save me

Just real enough to accept

There she was

Still unfinished

Still afraid

Still alive

I thought my voice had left me

I thought it had dissolved

But maybe it was waiting

For the silence to unlock

I do not need an answer

I do not need the past

I only need this moment

Where I come back at last

If tomorrow finds me quiet

Let it know I’m not the same

There is a sound beneath me

Learning how to say my name
