[Distorted Clarinet Solo] [Verse 1] lips are sealed with wires and thread every word I never said burns behind my choking breath is this life or is this death? there’s a voice inside my head says "just shut up instead" they stitched the silence to my heart cut the chords, tore me apart [Pre-Chorus] try to cry but nothing comes silence, all that it becomes feel it thrashing, feel it swell locked inside a padded cell [Chorus] I wanna scream— but nothing breaks just quiet nights filled with mistakes I claw my throat, I beg, I bleed but no one hears a thing from me I wanna scream— just let it end but then it begins again no sound, no fight, no spark, no flame just silence choking out my name [Distorted Clarinet Solo] [Bridge] I used to sing I used to cry I used to speak I used to try but now I rot inside this shell a silent ghost with none to tell [Distorted Clarinet Solo] [Chorus] I wanna scream— but nothing breaks just quiet nights filled with mistakes I claw my throat, I beg, I bleed but no one hears a thing from me I wanna scream— just let it end but then it begins again no sound, no fight, no spark, no flame just silence choking out my name [Distorted Clarinet Solo] [Outro] Even if I screamed, who’d hear? Echoes fade and disappear Words dissolve before they land No one’s waiting to understand So I stay silent, keep it all A shadow trapped behind the wall If no one listens anyway Then why should I find the words to say?
