The song was written and produced by Jeffrey Blake Simpson, Tim McEwan, and Tyler Lyle. It has a running time of four minutes and three seconds and is in the key of E-flat minor.

Lyrics
Late at night had a sinking feeling
That you were right sayin' I'm not seeing
All the lies that I made myself believe
That seemed to divide us
Once in my life moving on towards something
I realized it was all for nothing
Wonder why every good thing has to end
In nothing but silence
I'm trying but I can't find
A way to let you know that
I'm dying on the inside
The feeling sets in in the silence
In the silence...
Pressing through the paradoxes
One door opens, another locks its
Shrinking walls of freedom's fantasies
Now gravity spins off its axis
Fever dream phantoms of your absence
Fading frames to cold geometry
I'm trying but I can't find
A way to let you know that
I'm dying on the inside
The feeling sets in in the silence
In the silence...
The feeling sets in in the silence
