The Silence Drinks with Me

I hear the floorboards groan beneath my shoes

This house remembers every scar, every bruise

The fire's long gone, but the smoke still clings

Your whisper lingers in the quietest things

Ashes on the windowpane, time can wash away the stain

I'm left with shadows, left with pain, and the night just calls your name

The mirror shows me a man I don't know

Lines on my face, like rivers that won't flow

The table is set, but no one comes by

I drink with silence and a heavy sigh

Ashes on the windowpane, the years still cut me just the same

I'm left with memories I can't tame, and the rain still speaks your name

Every night I reach for a hand that's gone, but the room keeps singing that same sad song

Ashes on the windowpane, love is lost but the wall's rending

I walk alone through the years I've known, and still the night won't let me go

Ashes linger, and so do I

I walk alone through the years I've known, and still the night won't let me go
