Burning in Silence

The stars lean in, they watch me breathe

They hear the words I never say

Cold silver moving over me

Where every truth just slips away

I breathe in smoke, I breathe in flame

My shadow hums beneath the sound

Every secret knows my name

Still turning, never coming down

There's a fire under skin and bone

It only burns when I'm alone

I'm burning in silence, in silence

Under a broken moon

I'm burning in silence, in silence

And the truth comes too soon

I'm burning in silence, in silence

No sign, no sound, no light

I'm burning in silence

Every night

The moon draws lines along the sea

A pale reflection in my eyes

It pulls the hidden parts of me

Into the open, into light

I built my hope from dying stars

From faded names and losing ground

Every love just left a mark

Every truth I never found

No forgiveness in the dark

No absolution in the flame

The quiet leaves the deepest mark

And never says my name

Say nothing

Stay close

Let it burn

The stars don't speak

They just remain

And I am still here

In the flame
