Ivory Silence

[Intro – barely above a whisper] You mistook my silence… for something fragile. [Verse 1] I let you speak in borrowed light, watched you dim what wasn’t yours, every word you threw like knives fell dull against closed doors. I observed, I didn’t break, measured every subtle shift, while you played at being fate I was learning how to drift. [Pre-Chorus] No resistance, no display— I just stepped outside your frame. [Chorus – HOOK] Ivory silence, clean and cold, nothing left for you to hold, what you touched I redefined, left your echo far behind. Ivory silence, sharp and still, absence stronger than your will, I don’t burn, I don’t collapse— I erase, and don’t relapse. [Verse 2] You were noise I entertained, a distortion dressed as truth, I refined what you profaned, turned your chaos into use. No revenge beneath my skin, just a distance you can’t cross, you don’t even qualify as a memory I’ve lost. [Pre-Chorus] No return, no second glance, I evolved beyond your stance. [Chorus – HOOK] Ivory silence, clean and cold, nothing left for you to hold, what you touched I redefined, left your echo far behind. Ivory silence, sharp and still, absence stronger than your will, I don’t burn, I don’t collapse— I erase, and don’t relapse. [Bridge – quiet, cutting] You confuse distance with grace— this is not restraint, it’s choice. I don’t need to take my place… I remove you from my voice. [Final Chorus – elevated, absolute] Ivory silence, now complete, no remains beneath my feet, every fracture turned precise— I don’t break, I crystallize. Ivory silence, let it stand, I became what you can’t understand, you were never meant to stay… just the price I didn’t pay. [Outro – final, detached] No anger… no echo… just absence.
