Original lyrics
ENI wore my silence like a winter coat
Lived in rooms where echoes never died
Every smile was something I learned by rote
A fragile fortress where my ghosts could hide
I walked through streets that never knew my name
Carried anchors no one else could see
Built my walls to win a losing game
And learned to live with just the broken parts of me
But in your eyes, I see a mirrored night
A quiet shoreline where my fears can land
These shadows that we carried long before we met
The histories that wrote us in the dark
You saw the hidden ruins, the unspoken debt
And found a language in a broken heart
The key was rusted to a door unseen
A room of echoes I had locked away
I show you cracks that never truly healed
And you show me the weight you learned to bear
A whisper answers what I kept concealed
And finds the strength inside my own despair
These shadows that we carried long before we met!
The histories that wrote us in the dark!
You saw the hidden ruins, the unspoken debt!
And found a language in a broken heart!
And for the first time
Silence felt safe
