Lyric

We stopped explaining long ago

And somehow still continue so

No need to fill the empty air

The quiet proves that you are there

The pauses speak in deeper tones

Than any word we could have known

A language built from what we leave

A space that lets us both believe

No sound

No strain

Just presence

Remains

Shared silence protocol

No words needed at all

If you breathe, I receive

That is everything

We let the noise dissolve away

No urgency in what we say

And in that lack, a bond appears

Unspoken, stretching through the years

But is this peace or just retreat?

A softer kind of incomplete

Are we connected or just still

Afraid to test what words might kill?

Is this depth

Or just delay?

Shared silence protocol

No words needed at all

If you breathe, I receive

That is everything

Is this closeness

Or collapse?

Are we whole

Or just the gaps?

Shared silence protocol

If we speak, will it fall?

If you breathe, I believe

That is everything

Stay

Don’t say

Fade

Away
