Afterimage Silent

The screen went dark but it kept your shape

A little light the room could not erase

I left my hand where the window burned

And waited for the sound to return The dust fell slow in

a perfect line Like it knew the measure of borrowed time

I heard your voice in the power lines Saying almost,

almost, almost mine

If memory is only noise Why do I still hear your voice

Calling from the other side Of everything the dark can hide?

There's static where you stood

But I can hear you through it A signal in the wood

A ghost inside the music I don't know what it means I

don't know if I should

But I keep finding light

In the static where you stood

The hallway bends when I say your name The mirror gives me

another frame

A thousand rooms in a single wall

And every one has heard me call The machine keeps dreaming under

the floor

Of all the versions we were before

I touch the glass and the glass turns blue And every shadow

looks like you

If memory is only noise

Why do I still hear your voice

Calling from the other side

Of everything the dark can hide?

There's static where you stood

But I can hear you through it

A signal in the wood A ghost inside the music

I don't know what it means

I don't know if I should

But I keep finding light In the static where you stood

Cut the picture Leave the tone Take the body

Leave the bone

Break the signal Flood the room I

still hear

you Coming through There's static where you stood

But I

can

hear you through it A signal in the wood A ghost inside

the music I don't

know what it means

I don't know if I should

But I keep finding light In the static where you stood

The screen went

dark

But

it kept your shape A little light The room could not erase
