Tears of Quiet Language

[Intro] Soft rain on windows, a quiet shed of light Hands tremble, words hide in the folds of night [Verse 1] Bruised vowels spill in a chest too full to speak A silence wraps around the ache I keep Tears map the corners where I refuse to cry loud A language of gravity, whispers in a shroud [Pre-Chorus] If I could break the dam, would the ocean hear? But the silent language holds me, year after year [Chorus] Tears are the quiet letters I can’t erase Silent syllables tracing the lines of my face If love is a flood, I’m drowning in my gravity Speak through the tears, tell you what’s left of me [Verse 2] I wear a smile like armor, thin as a breeze Every smile a doorway to what I don’t release The room hums with the weight I never chose In every breath, a story nobody knows [Pre-Chorus] Between the sighs and the breath I keep apart A language forged in marrow, stubborn in my heart [Chorus] Tears are the quiet letters I can’t erase Silent syllables tracing the lines of my face If love is a flood, I’m drowning in my gravity Speak through the tears, tell you what’s left of me [Bridge] Let the windows cry with me, let the night hear the truth I am here, still breaking, word by fragile truth [Chorus] Tears are the quiet letters I can’t erase Silent syllables tracing the lines of my face If love is a flood, I’m drowning in my gravity Speak through the tears, tell you what’s left of me [Outro] When the quiet finally speaks, may you hear my name In the hush between heartbeats, I will rise again
