Kioko, Sitdown Silence waits behind the door v2.0

Shadows stretch across the floor
Silence waits behind the door

Grey skies press against the glass
Watching all the hours pass
Coffee cold inside the cup
No one here to lift me up

Footsteps fade into the night
Streetlights flicker out of sight
Empty chairs around the table
Stories we are unable to tell
The truth we hid away
Lost within the grey of day

Drifting down a river bend
Waiting for the end to mend
Broken pieces on the shore
Do not fit together more

Memories like smoke remain
Lingering inside the rain
Whispers caught in wooden beams
Haunting all my quiet dreams
Time moves slow beneath the skin
Letting all the darkness in

Floating through the empty space
Tracing lines upon your face
Echoes bounce off concrete walls
Answering when silence calls

Heavy air begins to clear
Nothing left for me to fear
Just the sound of breathing slow
Where the wild winds used to blow

Sinking deep below the tide
Nowhere left for us to hide
Fading stars above the sea
Take this weight away from me

Dust settles on the shelf
I am left alone myself
