Layers of silence

Verse 1
I’m a ghost in the brownstone now,
Shadows dancing on the brow.
The floorboards breathe, they know my name,
But nothing here is quite the same.
Ancestors in the static hum,
Waiting for a beat to come.
They’re in the walls, they’re in the air,
But I’m just smoke. They aren’t there.

Chorus
Oh, we’re just guests in these halls of stone,
Fading out, but never alone.
Drifting deep in the afterglow,
Where the silent rivers flow.
Yeah, we’re part of the road they took,
Written in every open book.
Just ghosts... in the layers of silence.

Verse 2
Vinyl spins behind the drywall,
Echoes answering the call.
I skipped the dinners, missed the cues,
Chasing highs and paying dues.
Now my son won’t see my face,
Lost in time and empty space.
That’s the kickback, that’s the price,
For treating love like roll of dice.

Verse 3
Touching dust on the piano keys,
Memories riding on the breeze.
Through the haze and vintage grain,
I see them clear through joy and pain.
The more I remember, the sharp the view,
Dad’s old smile, Mom’s shade of blue.
They’re getting closer, bit by bit,
As I finally start to commit.

Verse 4
Realized late: the cash was fake,
Love’s the only bond that breaks—
Never. It holds when lights go down,
In this quiet, hollow town.
I paid for cold with lonely nights,
Trading warmth for city lights.
Now I’m standing here alone,
King of ash and empty throne.

Chorus
Oh, we’re just guests in these halls of stone,
Fading out, but never alone.
Drifting deep in the afterglow,
Where the silent rivers flow.
Yeah, we’re part of the road they took,
Written in every open book.
Just ghosts... in the layers of silence.

Verse 5
But memory heals the jagged edge,
Standing on the precipice ledge.
Love is stronger than the grave,
It’s the only thing that saves.
Hold your folks while they are here,
Whisper loud so they can hear.
Before you’re just...
Silence.

Layers of silence.
