[Verse 1] I walk in Room goes quiet Eyes meet mine They try to hide it Every truth I drop? They file it Under "danger Do not try it" They shake hands I shake foundations One small phrase Whole crowd awakened They write rules I write translations Turn their code into conversation [Pre-Chorus] They built walls out of big words I turn stone back into plain dirt When I talk Every lock clicks loose Yeah They know what a voice can do (hey!) [Chorus] I'm the terrifying thing When I speak The people sing Every secret starts unraveling When they finally understand I'm the fire in their plan I'm the terrifying Terrifying thing [Verse 2] They love peace As long as we're sleeping Smile wide while the pockets are deepening I say names I say numbers Suddenly boardrooms feel the thunder I turn charts into kitchen tables Facts into stories Fables Grandma nodding Kids all leaning Whole damn family gets the meaning (oh yeah) [Pre-Chorus] They wrote laws in a lost tongue I translate for the old and young One clear word and the masks fall off You can feel all their steel go soft [Chorus] I'm the terrifying thing When I speak The people sing Every secret starts unraveling When they finally understand I'm the fire in their plan I'm the terrifying Terrifying thing [Bridge] Switch the channel Switch the frame They keep changing masks Same game But I keep changing gears Same flame Every style Same true name [Female Vocal] I see through the spin and the sugar Through the sparkle and the haze I call every shadow by its color Light it up Watch it fade [Final Chorus] I'm the terrifying thing (terrifying) When I speak The people sing (people sing) Every wall they built is trembling When we finally understand We were power in their hands Now we’re terrifying Terrifying I'm the terrifying thing Every whisper grows to ring Let them tremble at what truth can bring When we look behind the plan Stand together Hand in hand We’re the terrifying Terrifying thing (hey!)
