Exploration of Silence

Verse 1

I keep your name in my jaw

Like glass on my tongue

Every little promise

Still cuts when I'm done

I been out here acting fine

But I fold in the dark

Your last little message

Left a hole in my heart

The room got too quiet

When you walked out clean

Now I’m staring at my hands

Like they did this to me

Pre-Chorus

If I call, would you hear me?

If I break, would you stay?

I got pride in my pocket

And it’s tearing away

I don't need a lecture

I don't need a crown

I just need your shadow

When the rest goes down

Chorus

Hold me down, hold me down

Don’t let me drift away

Hold me down, hold me down

I’m not okay today

Say my name, say my name

Like you still know the sound

Hold me down, hold me down

Hold me down right now

Verse 2

I’ve been sleeping in fragments

Never deep, never long

Every dream got your outline

And it keeps me wrong

I laugh in the hallway

Then I mute in my car

Sun on the windshield

Still feels far too far

I told everybody

I was built for this pain

But the truth in my throat is

I’m still calling your name

Pre-Chorus

If I call, would you hear me?

If I break, would you stay?

I got pride in my pocket

And it’s tearing away

I don't need a lecture

I don't need a crown

I just need your shadow

When the rest goes down

Chorus

Hold me down, hold me down

Don’t let me drift away

Hold me down, hold me down

I’m not okay today

Say my name, say my name

Like you still know the sound

Hold me down, hold me down

Hold me down right now

Bridge

Maybe I was too proud

Maybe I said too much

Maybe I was scared

Of needing that touch

If you’re still out there

Send one little sign

I don’t need forever

Just one more try

Chorus

Hold me down, hold me down

Don’t let me drift away

Hold me down, hold me down

I’m not okay today

Say my name, say my name

Like you still know the sound

Hold me down, hold me down

Hold me down right now
