[Verse 1] They told me peace is keeping quiet Don’t shake the ground, don’t start a riot But every word I buried deep Turned into something I can’t keep I walked through fire just to please them Carried voices I don’t believe in Smiling while I lost my name Playing safe inside their game [Chorus] I won’t lie just to feel alright I won’t dim what I know is light If truth breaks everything I built Then let it fall, I won’t feel guilt I’m not here to obey confusion I’m not here for their illusion If I stand here on my own Then I stand before the throne [Verse 2] Every silence has a cost Every “peace” I kept, I lost They called it love, but it was control Hands on my voice, chains on my soul I see clearer than I used to Every fear they tried to fuse to Doesn’t hold me like before I won’t kneel to that no more [Bridge] If I’m wrong, then let it show I won’t hide from what I don’t know But if I’m right, I won’t pretend Just to keep a fragile end There’s a line I will not cross Even if it comes with loss I don’t answer to their fear Only truth can lead me here [Final Chorus] I won’t lie just to feel alright I won’t trade truth just for the night If it costs me everything Still I’ll stand before the King No more silence dressed as peace No more chains that look like release If I walk this path alone Still I’m not alone
