Break the Silence – Hollow Lantern

Verse

Suitcase open on the kitchen floor

Your key still fits but not for long, that's sure

Coffee rings on napkins by the door

We're folding years into a box marked "before"

Pre-Chorus

So what do we say

When the room stops turning

What's left to save

Now the porch light's burning

Chorus

We break the silence, let it out

Every window, every doubt

Say the goodbye like it's a start

Not an ending of the heart

We break the silence, hand in hand

Turn the quiet into brass and grand

Sunlight spilling where the shadows were

We break the silence, one more cheer

Verse

Old piano missing half its keys

Still plays that song about the willow trees

Packing photographs of Tuesdays gone

Leaving porch lights on till we move on

Pre-Chorus

So what do we say

When the room stops turning

What's left to save

Now the porch light's burning

Chorus

We break the silence, let it out

Every window, every doubt

Say the goodbye like it's a start

Not an ending of the heart

We break the silence, hand in hand

Turn the quiet into brass and grand

Sunlight spilling where the shadows were

We break the silence, one more cheer

Bridge

Maybe the ache was just love changing clothes

Maybe an ending is just how the light grows

I'll take the echo and turn it to song

Carry the quiet where the brave ones belong

Chorus

We break the silence, let it out

Every window, every doubt

Say the goodbye like it's a start

Not an ending of the heart

We break the silence, hand in hand

Turn the quiet into brass and grand

Sunlight spilling where the shadows were

We break the silence, one more cheer

We break the silence, here
