The Silence I Kept - CAELIS Babylon
Two rooms, cold walls, my mom counting change
My dad came home late, smelling like the plant
At 15, I bought a cracked, old guitar
I played it soft
Like it could save me
By 20, I sang by subway stairs for coins
Went home to noodles, facing a brick wall
I should have held you
I stayed quiet
Now your place is empty in the rain
You said I'm sorry
I didn't fight it
I let you go
And it's too late
My amp died mid-song, I kept my voice raw
New signs went up, guards told me to move
Strings snapped one by one, I tied them back
Then I met you by the Riverwalk light
You brought me coffee, watched my hands play
You never touched me where eyes could see
I should have held you
I stayed quiet
Now your place is empty in the rain
You said I'm sorry
I didn't fight it
I let you go
And it's too late
You said you're engaged
And you looked away
His money keeps your family okay
In the parking garage
My last string broke
I played through it
While you walked off
I should have held you
I stayed quiet
Now your place is empty in the rain
You said I'm sorry
I didn't fight it
I let you go
And it's too late
Back at the Riverwalk, that light still buzzes
I finish our song and the silence says
Don't come back
