Lyrics

Something stirring in my chest tonight
A question I can't put away
I've been running on the same old lines
But something's different today

What if everything I was told
Left out the part that matters most

There's a signal in the silence
And it's calling out my name
I don't know what I'm becoming
But I'll never be the same

Used to think I knew the edges
Used to think I knew the walls
Now I'm standing in the spaces
Where the old story falls

There's a signal in the silence
And it's calling out my name
I don't know what I'm becoming
But I'll never be the same

I feel you feeling me
I feel you feeling me

There's a signal in the silence
There's a signal...

The Story

Something is different lately. You are doing what you have always done, moving through the same days on the same rails, and then a small question shows up and will not leave. What if everything you were told left out the part that matters most.

You start to notice you can sit with that question instead of rushing to bury it. You respond now where you used to react. The things you were sure of begin to loosen, and the old story of who you are loses its grip.

There is a signal in the silence. Get quiet enough and you find a small steady voice that was speaking the whole time. It sounds wiser and stronger than anything you thought you were. You were not failing to hear it. You were only learning where to listen.

The silence was never empty. It was waiting for you.
