Seibold - Hush (feat. Garrison Starr) (audio) Apr 2026

Every time he closed his eyes, his head filled with —not the kind that rattled chains, but the kind that sat at the edge of the bed and reminded him of every word he should have said.

It was a promise of a transition. The lyrics suggested that though the night was full of crying, The ghosts wouldn't live forever; one of these days, he would have to "let 'em die."

He took a breath, letting the silence of the morning finally be just that—silence.

"Hush, little child," the voice seemed to sing to the grieving man within him. "Dry your eyes."

As the first gray streaks of dawn finally touched the horizon, Elias stopped pacing. He realized that the "other side" wasn't a place you went to when life ended, but the version of yourself that emerged after the long night finally broke. The morning light didn't erase the well or the history buried at the bottom of the sea, but it made them visible, turning the terrifying shadows back into simple, harmless trees and stones.

Elias lived in a house where the silence was heavy, but never truly quiet. At night, the floorboards didn’t just creak; they whispered names he hadn’t heard spoken aloud in years. He felt as though he were living at the where the darkness was so thick he could no longer tell the difference between the night outside and the "hell" of his own memories.
