As We Fall - Silence Speaks Lyrics

The sky isn't measured in miles
But in the weight we carry trying to reach it
Every star we chase costs a piece of us
And somewhere along the way
We forget who we were before the climb
We build empires from what we're running from
Walls of screens and shadows of applause
But when the lights get down

It's just us and the echo
Of questions we're tired to ask
Fear lives in these quiet moments
Between the exhale and the next breath
A screen waiting to load
The pause before a stranger answers your call

It feeds on what we don't say
Thrives in what we don't face
People running
Their footsteps carving invisible ways
That lead nowhere but exhaustion

We forget who we were before the climb
We build empires from what we're running from
Walls of screens and shadows of applause
But when the lights get down

It's just us and the echo
Of questions we're tired to ask
Fear lives in these quiet moments
Between the exhale and the next breath
A screen waiting to load
The pause before a stranger answers your call

A stranger answers your call
We're not wired to be whole
We're patched circuits, frayed at the edges
Sparking where we're broken
And yet, those sparks
Are the only light some of us have ever known

The sky isn't measured in miles
But in the weight we carry trying to reach it
Every star we chase costs a piece of us
We forget who we were before the climb

It's just us and the echo
Of questions we're tired to ask
Fear lives in these quiet moments
Between the exhale and the next breath
A screen waiting to load
The pause before a stranger answers your call
