Burn the silence

Verse 1
I’m sick of hearing voices
Telling me to stay in line
Every step I take is wrong
Every thought is a crime
You build your walls of judgment
Say you know what’s best for me
But I’m choking on your rules
And I’m done pretending to agree

Pre-Chorus
I tried to bite my tongue
I tried to play it cool
But every word you throw at me
Just fuels the fire you lit

Chorus
I’m gonna burn the silence down
Scream until the truth is loud
You don’t get to own my pain
Or tell me who I am
I’m done being your mistake
I won’t bend, I won’t break
This is me, unchained and proud
I’m gonna burn the silence down

Verse 2
You point your fingers like a weapon
Say I’ll never be enough
But you don’t see the scars I wear
From trying to be what you love
You feed on fear and weakness
But I’m stronger than you know
I found my voice in the chaos
Now I’m ready to explode

Pre-Chorus
I swallowed all your lies
I carried all your blame
But now I’m standing in the wreckage
And I won’t do that again

Chorus
I’m gonna burn the silence down
Scream until the truth is loud
You don’t get to own my pain
Or tell me who I am
I’m done being your mistake
I won’t bend, I won’t break
This is me, unchained and proud
I’m gonna burn the silence down

Bridge
You tried to keep me small
Tried to lock me in your cage
But anger turned to gasoline
And now I set the stage
I won’t apologize
For the fire in my chest
If standing up is dangerous
Then I’ll take that test

Final Chorus
I’m gonna burn the silence down
Let the walls shake, let it sound
You don’t get to own my pain
Or rewrite who I am
I’m done being your mistake
I won’t bend, I won’t break
Hear my voice, feel the ground
I’m gonna burn the silence down

Outro
This is my sound
This is my fight
I won’t fade out
Into your night
