[Intro]
[Verse]
Paper sanctuary, feeling temporary
Like a cemetery for the visionary
Dusty aisles in the corner light
Fading spines in the morning bright
Small town echoes on the wooden floor
Hiding back behind the heavy door
Dewey Decimal was the secret code
Mapping out every heavy road
Librarian with the silver hair
Knew the magic that was hidden there
We were seekers in a silent room
Watching every single flower bloom
[Pre-Chorus]
Silence is a heavy sound
When the wisdom is underground
Turning pages till the sun goes down
Lost in pieces of a ghost town
[Chorus]
Where did the quiet go?
Nobody wants to know
The sanctuary is a hollow shell
Stories that we never tell
Fading ink on a yellow page
Trapped inside a digital cage
[Post-Chorus]
Where did the quiet go?
Nobody wants to know
The sanctuary is a hollow shell
Stories that we never tell
Fading ink on a yellow page
Trapped inside a digital cage
[Verse]
Now the Wi-Fi is the primary draw
Broken screens are the local law
Budget cuts hit the poorest blocks
Turning keys in the rusty locks
Intergenerational thread is thin
Losing touch with the soul within
Algorithmic feed is a shallow stream
Killing every single quiet dream
Wealthy kids got the fiber optic
Poor kids find the future toxic
Shared spaces start to disappear
Replaced by the static of fear
[Hook]
Keep the silence alive
Help the story survive
In the stacks where we hide
With the spirit inside
[Bridge]
Wurlitzer keys in a minor chord
Knowledge is a double-edged sword
If we lose the place where we meet
We're just shadows on a lonely street
Dusty samples on a vinyl spin
Let the history begin again
[Verse]
Reflecting on the space we shared
Wondering if anybody really cared
Class divide in the fiber line
Leaving all the dusty books behind
Curiosity is a dying flame
Everyone is playing the same game
Close the cover and dim the light
Into the digital night
We outgrew the peace we found
Now we're buried in the noise and sound
Missing what the silence taught us
Before the shiny gadgets bought us
[Chorus]
Where did the quiet go?
Nobody wants to know
The sanctuary is a hollow shell
Stories that we never tell
Fading ink on a yellow page
Trapped inside a digital cage
[Outro]
