Static Hearts

The silence knows my name tonight Breathing slow against the air Every thought keeps circling back To moments fading everywhere Nothing stays the way we planned Nothing asks before it leaves Still I hold what's left inside Even when I don't believe I'm still reaching For something I can't explain A quiet feeling Running underneath my veins We're only echoes of the choices We were brave enough to make Every ending starts as something Neither heart can ever face If I disappear inside tomorrow Will you hear me calling through? Not with words, not with promises Just the truth I never knew Everything is changing shape Nothing fits the way it did I'm learning how to carry pieces Without trying to rebuild I can feel the distance growing Like the tide beneath my feet Pulling every part of me Toward somewhere I can't see Take me where the silence opens Where the weight begins to fall Where I don't have to keep pretending I still understand it all We're only echoes of the choices We were brave enough to make Every ending starts as something Neither heart can ever face If I disappear inside tomorrow Will you hear me calling through? Not with words, not with promises Just the truth I never knew Nothing lasts forever Nothing stays the same Still I keep your memory Without needing it to change If another dawn should find me I'll become somebody new But somewhere underneath the surface There'll always be a trace of you Static hearts... still beating Static hearts... still breathing Even when the world moves on Something beautiful remains
