Lyrics

[Title: The Highest Form of Faith]  
[Genre: Indie Rock]  
[Style: Melancholic baritone vocals, warm piano, shimmering guitars, slow-building drums, atmospheric reverb, 82 BPM, A Minor]  

[Intro]  
Whispered voices in the haze,  
The night hums like a promise made.  
You reach for me through the quiet days,  
Love's the only thing we haven't frayed.  

[Verse 1]  
I built an altar out of small mistakes,  
A fragile house for us to rest.  
Between my doubts and your clear breath,  
You placed your hand upon my chest.  

[Verse 2]  
Every fear I ever carried home,  
You turned them into something kind.  
Even when my pulse runs cold,  
Your eyes rewrite the end, line by line.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
You said belief is just another shape  
Of how we dare to wait,  
And love's the longest prayer  
We ever let escape.  

[Chorus]  
Love is the highest form of faith,  
A candle in the hall of rain.  
When the shore is gone, you stay —  
You keep my name from fading away.  
(keep my name... fading away)  

[Verse 3]  
I've seen the seasons fold like hands,  
The skyline blur against the day.  
But somehow you still understand  
What none of my words can say.  

[Bridge]  
Hold me in the aftermath,  
When silence takes the lead.  
If hope's a hand-me-down belief,  
Then love's the one we keep.  
(the one we keep)  

[Instrumental]  
[instrumental]  

[Interlude]  
You said nothing ends — it dissolves.  
We are the echo that resolves.  

[Verse 4]  
I walk beneath the city's breath,  
Thinking of the calm you gave.  
Every doubt becomes a step,  
Every step, another way to stay.  

[Chorus Reprise]  
Love is the highest form of faith,  
Even when I drift away.  
In your silence, I remain —  
You keep my name from fading away.  
(fading... away)  

[Outro]  
Love hums through the haze once more —  
The last bright sound, the quietest choice.  
(highest form... highest form)

The Highest Form of Faith

Energy I Miss is a quiet, deeply personal album that unfolds like a late-night conversation you didn’t plan to have but needed anyway. Each song lingers in the space between love and absence, where memories don’t fade cleanly and feelings don’t resolve on schedule.

This album isn’t about getting over someone. It’s about learning how their absence becomes part of your daily life. The songs move through devotion, doubt, tenderness, and self-reckoning, often slowing down enough to let silence speak. Love here isn’t loud or dramatic. It’s patient, complicated, and unfinished.

If you’ve ever missed someone so deeply that they still feel present, or carried a love that never fully left, Energy I Miss will feel familiar. These songs sit in the fog of nostalgia and loss, not searching for closure, but acknowledging the truth of what remains.

This is an album meant to be lived with. Played quietly. Returned to. It doesn’t promise healing. It offers companionship, recognition, and the strange relief of knowing someone else understands what it’s like to carry the ache forward.
