Description
Back in June, I saw a post from Katchoolik asking for a singer. I jumped at the chance, since he does some great work. It turned out that he didn't just want a singer for the song...but lyrics too...which was a little more than I could take on at the moment. However, I liked the tune so much, I couldn't say no.
In true fashion, it took me until now to finish the song. I struggled initially to find a direction for the tune, but I returned to his working title, Speechless, and it all started coming together. (If the tune sounds familiar, you may recognize it from rshletty's take on the same collaboration, Breakout.)

Lyrics
[ verse 1 ]
As a symphony of silence fills the room,
no amount of conversation could fill this empty space dividing me and you.
‘Cause love left this place a long time past, but no one says a word
And still our hearts remain unheard.
[ chorus ]
And so we go.
Speechless from the things we never say.
Words only complicate our lives.
(What use is conversation?)
We cannot breathe.
We cannot speak.
Pieces of what we used to be
broken by life and love and left
to think we can’t be better off this way.
[ verse 2 ]
Seems memories are all we’re clinging to.
But we’d be lying to ourselves to think there’s something left. Yeah, it’s time for something new.
Instead we bury all these feelings down and keep staring at the walls.
And still we smile through it all.
[ chorus ]
[ bridge ]
Wait a minute here now can't you see
we're dying from the weight of silence?
Wait a minute here I think if we
don’t turn back now we won’t survive this.
Walk ‘cross the ledge. Step from the edge
with nothing left to guide us.
I know we’ve fallen but there’s still a long way down.
[ solo ]

Hey John,
man, it took a while, but you come up with a great
version of Speechless. Love you vox and the lyrics
are great. This is different from the "Breakout"
version, and both versions are great.
Great background vocals in the ending man,
good job.
Cheers
