Silent Ripples

I woke up under pale blue light With your name caught in

the blinds

Every shadow on the ceiling Looked a little too alive There’s a

song behind the window There’s a ghost inside the rain I keep

reaching for the feeling But it slips out of its name

And I don’t know where I went When I tried to disappear

I just folded into silence Hoping you would hear

So pull me through the static I’m fading in the glow

I tried to be the answer But I’m something you outgrew

And if the sky comes open Leave a light on where you

are

I’ll be the lonely signal Burning softly in the dark

There are flowers in the hallway But they never learned to bloom

Just reflections of the morning In a quiet,

empty room

I still talk like you can hear me Through the wires in

the wall

Every word becomes an echo Every echo starts to fall And I

don’t know what I broke Only how it felt to bend I

was searching for a doorway In a place that had no end

So pull me through the static I’m fading in the glow

I tried to be the answer But I’m something you outgrew

And if the sky comes open Leave a light on where you

are

I’ll be the lonely signal Burning softly in the dark

Maybe I was only dreaming Maybe you were never there Maybe all

this silver feeling Was just smoke inside the air But I still

feel you in the feedback Still see blue behind my eyes Still

hear something almost human When the midnight wires cry So pull me

through the static I’m fading in the glow

I tried to be the answer But I’m something you outgrew

And if the sky comes open Leave a light on where you

are

I’ll be the lonely signal Burning softly in the dark

Burning softly

Burning softly

In the dark In the dark
