Silent Wires

[Verse]
When night swallows the arms of day
And shadows stretch to play
The moon shakes in my windowpane
A trembling ghost
A silver chain

[Prechorus]
The air hangs heavy
Thick with ache
A silence even walls can't break

[Chorus]
The telephone sleeps
It won’t ring
Won’t sing
Silent wires hum
A hollow sting
Where your voice should resound
It's just a void
A broken chord
A song destroyed

[Verse 2]
I hold the emptiness like a fragile glass
Your echoes gone
They do not pass
The clock just ticks
A cruel refrain
Time moving forward
Leaving pain

[Prechorus]
Every second a whisper of regret
Every minute
A promise unmet

[Chorus]
The telephone sleeps
It won’t ring
Won’t sing
Silent wires hum
A hollow sting
Where your voice should resound
It's just a void
A broken chord
A song destroyed
