[Verse 1] Your name keeps flashing where the circuits should be dead A thousand borrowed voices taking turns inside my head I learned to speak in fragments so nobody heard me break Every truth became a dial tone the moment it escaped [Pre-Chorus] If you hear the whole room start to shake That’s every silence giving way [Chorus] I’m sending every word I swallowed Through the wires, through the dark Let the dead air keep my old voice You are hearing who I am No more fading in the background No more bending just to belong I don’t need the world to answer I was the signal all along [Verse 2] I mistook disappearing for a way to stay alive Built a perfect imitation and let it speak for me at night Every failed connection left a burn beneath my skin Now the noise is losing power Now the real voice cuts in [Pre-Chorus] If you hear the whole room start to shake That’s every silence giving way [Chorus] I’m sending every word I swallowed Through the wires, through the dark Let the dead air keep my old voice You are hearing who I am No more fading in the background No more bending just to belong I don’t need the world to answer I was the signal all along [Bridge] Let every former version lose my name Let every tower fail to track me I’d rather reach you once as who I am Than spend another lifetime broadcasting safely The silence never saved me It only taught me how to hide So I tear the filter open Let the whole truth overload the line [Final Chorus] I’m sending every word I swallowed Through the wires, through the dark Let the dead air keep my old voice This is who I really am No more fading in the background No more begging to belong You don’t have to send an answer I was the signal all along [Outro] No dead air No disguise No borrowed voice No second life I was the signal all along
