I’m the shape of silence
synthpop ballad, cinematic indie rock, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, lo-fi electric guitar, close-mic female mezzo vocals, bass guitar entrance, subtle string swells, warm piano, plate reverb, analog tape saturation, stereo widen, intimate verse, cathartic chorus, mid-tempo 90 BPM, bittersweet longing

Lyrics
Intro
fingerstyle acoustic guitar
Verse 1
female mezzo vocals
I'm the shape of silence
Make it clear in the eveningness
Leave the window open for light
Lead me to go
I'll open my heart like a letter
Slip it into your coat
So you don't have to remember
Chorus
bass guitar enters
I'll love you anyway
Whether I'm near or miles away
If you find someone who feels like home
I'll be someone you used to know
I don't need your promise to stay
I'll love you anyway
Outro
If you're lost in the dark
I'll help you find the distance
