Echoform - The Stillness Screams Lyrics

The air hangs heavy still and bare
No sound no touch no one there
The quiet wraps around my skin
A hollow echo deep within
The shadows stretch they never fade
In every corner they invade
I try to breathe but it won't come
The silence strikes and I'm undone
The stillness screams it cuts so deep
A restless void that steals my sleep
No voices call no whispers speak
But in the quiet I'm too weak
The stillness screams it won't let go
A weight of nothing I can't show
The ticking clock has lost its sound
The hands don't move; they just go 'round
I trace the lines inside my mind
Searching for something I won't find
The silence grows it's pressing in
A crushing force beneath my skin
Each empty moment drags for years
A drowning sea of phantom fears
The stillness screams it cuts so deep
A restless void that steals my sleep
No voices call no whispers speak
But in the quiet I'm too weak
The stillness screams it won't let go
A weight of nothing I can't show
It's louder than the thunder's cry
It drowns the stars it fills the sky
It echoes through the hollow halls
A silent roar that shakes and calls
In the stillness I can't hide
It finds the cracks I've sealed inside
It speaks in ways I can't ignore
A quiet chaos at my core
The stillness screams it cuts so deep
A restlessless void that steals my sleep
No voices call no whispers speak
But in the quiet I'm too weak
The stillness screams it won't let go
A weight of nothing I can't show
No sound no light just endless grey
The stillness waits to take me away
And in its arms I start to fade
The stillness screams and I'm betrayed
