All Noise All Along The Silence

A tree grows around the iron in its trunk, ring after ring, until one year it can't. A house is walled in for someone's own good until the lock no longer turns back. A statue of Justice loses her blade to the crowd and hears her name in every mouth. A radio dial at night, and a voice beneath the static calling for Mira. A child counting footsteps through the floor.

Every song looks past the noise to the one thing nobody is listening to. At the end, a voice weighs crowns against bread — and calls the world back.
