Before Us lyrics

I wore my silence like a second skin A fortress built from sleepless nights Every locked door held a ghost within Fading under pale Cold lights I walked through crowds, a stranger to myself Hoping no one saw the cracks I hide Each smile was borrowed from a dusty shelf A broken promise buried deep inside But in your quiet gaze The walls feel thin The silence starts to feel like grace We carried these shadows long before we met! And now I see my darkness in your own This broken history I can't forget Finally feels less heavy and alone This fragile trust, a language I once feared Is spoken in the words you leave unsaid The hollow echoes have all disappeared And there is stillness in my heart instead My scars became the lines upon a map A map that led me straight to you You saw the parts I always kept under wrap And showed me they were beautiful, and true These shattered pieces finally align! Our scars became the language between us! Your wounded past is mirroring mine! For the first time, this silence feels like trust! Home At last
