SANCTUARY OF SILENCE

Until we get closer
I'll haunt the halls you left behind
Still praying to a God
That wears your smile like light divine

This sanctuary of silence
Is where I carved your name in stone
And every echo, every absence
It sings like home

I watched you bloom in borrowed light
Too far to touch, too close to fight
I bit my tongue through every flame
Still whispered softly through your name

A shadow dancing at your door
A ghost you never asked for more
But still I stayed, I stayed too long
Inside a love that felt so wrong

Until we get closer
I'll haunt the halls you left behind
Still praying to a God
That wears your smile like light divine

This sanctuary of silence
Is where I carved your name in stone
And every echo, every absence
It sings like home

You spoke of him like he was starlight
And I just smiled behind my teeth
Dragged to witness every sunrise
That never once belonged to me

They held hands in holy daylight
While I stitched up sacred scars
I wore my silence like a weapon
Let them dance beneath my stars

Until we get closer
I'll haunt the halls you left behind
Still praying to a God
That wears your smile like light divine

This sanctuary of silence
Is where I carved your name in stone
And every echo, every absence
It sings like home

Would you love me
If I wore his face?

Would you hold me
If I left no trace?

I gave you every breath I owned
In languages I'll never speak
And still, you chose
To sleep beside the ghost of me

Until we get closer
I'll haunt the halls you left behind
Still praying to a God
That wears your smile like light divine

This sanctuary of silence
Is where I carved your name in stone
And every echo, every absence
Still sings, like home
