The Archive of Unspoken Things

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dust motes dance in the sun
History has just begun
Golden light hits the floor
Locking the heavy oak door
Ink stains on the page
Voices from a silent age
[Pre-Chorus]
Between the verses of Keats
Where old memory meets
The crinkle of the edge
A secret silent pledge
[Chorus]
Faded ink and blue lines
Searching for the hidden signs
Heartache in the cursive script
From the secrets that they slipped
Oh, let the silence stay
While the world just drifts away
[Post-Chorus]
Drifting away
In the light of the day
[Verse]
Nineteen-twenty-four
Footsteps on the wooden floor
Small joys in a simple note
Words that a lover once wrote
A pressed flower falls
Echoes in these hollow halls
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows stretch on the wall
I can hear the winter call
Fragile paper in my hand
From a long forgotten land
[Chorus]
Faded ink and blue lines
Searching for the hidden signs
Heartache in the cursive script
From the secrets that they slipped
Oh, let the silence stay
While the world just drifts away
[Bridge]
The bell chimes from the tower
Marking every quiet hour
Celesta rings like a ghost
To the things we loved the most
I am holding their breath
Defying time and death
[Verse]
Paper thin like a wing
Hear the bass clarinet sing
Small hopes left behind
Waiting for someone to find
I close the heavy tome
Wishing they had made it home
[Chorus]
Faded ink and blue lines
Searching for the hidden signs
Heartache in the cursive script
From the secrets that they slipped
Oh, let the silence stay
While the world just drifts away
[Post-Chorus]
Drifting away
In the light of the day
[Outro]
