Lyrics
There's a voice in the distance nobody hears but me…
Coffee’s cold by the dashboard light
Morning comes but it don’t feel right
Boots still carry yesterday’s dust
Another call because somebody must
Streetlights blink like they know my name
Every corner looks the same
I keep driving like I always do
Goin to somebody else’s breaking news
There’s static in the silence when the sirens fade away
Echoes in the shadows I still carry every day
Smile for the daylight, hold the line and stand tall
But the quiet gets the loudest when there’s nobody to call
Yeah I’m walking through the wreckage nobody ever sees
Still wearing every memory they left inside of me
I keep showing up standing when I fall
With that static in the silence after every call
Front porch lights and a screen door swing
Another night didn’t change a thing
Hands still shake but I hide them well
Some stories never leave the shell
Neighbors wave like I’m doing fine
Like they can’t read between the lines
They thank me quick then they turn away
Before the weight has time to stay
There’s static in the silence when the sirens fade away
Echoes in the shadows I still carry every day
Smile for the daylight, hold the line and stand tall
But the quiet gets the loudest when there’s nobody to call
Yeah I’m walking through the wreckage nobody ever sees
Still wearing every memory they left inside of me
I keep showing up standing when I fall
With that static in the silence after every call
I don’t talk about the faces
I don’t talk about the pain
I don’t talk about the moments
Still repeating in my brain
But they’re waiting in the doorway
Every time I close my eyes
Like a song still playing
From another place in time
There’s static in the silence when the sirens fade away
Echoes in the shadows I still carry every day
Still smiling in the daylight like I’ve never lost it all
But the quiet gets the loudest when there’s nobody to call
Yeah I’m stronger than the stories people think they see
Still fighting through the ghosts that keep walking next to me
I keep showing up standing when I fall
With that static in the silence after every call
I still answer when they call…
Even when nobody calls for me.
