Lyric

I press down and the world goes quiet

Each key a small confession whispered

The black and white beneath my hands

They know things I cannot say out loud

Memories live in these grooves

Your name tastes like a minor chord

Soft and sharp and impossibly real

I play it over and over until

My fingers forget the difference between

Aching and healing

So I'll keep playing keep playing

Notes nobody asked me to hold

The silence between the sounds

That's where you live now

That's where you live

Rain on the window sounds like applause

For a performance nobody's watching

I build cathedrals out of half-pressed keys

Out of breath and trembling wrists

Out of everything I couldn't tell you

There are songs in the spaces between

In the air before the hammer falls

In the resonance that lingers

After my hands have already left

So I'll keep playing keep playing

Notes nobody asked me to hold

The silence between the sounds

That's where you live now

That's where you live
