[Intro – sparse guitar/piano, very close vocal] Hello pressure, sitting in my chest again You don’t speak but you pretend Like you’re just a passing friend But you never really end [Verse 1 – rhythmic, “Butterfly”-style cadence] And it goes like — slow build, low hum Same weight but it feels like none Till it stacks in the back of your mind Out of sight but it’s there all the time You don’t fight it, nah, you let it slide Keep it cool, keep it locked inside Little cracks but you let ‘em ride Say you’re good, yeah you say you’re fine [Pre-Chorus – melodic lift] But I feel it now Yeah it’s getting loud In a space with no sound [Chorus – Disturbed-style swell, powerful] In the silence, it grows Every word I never told Every line I let go Turns to weight I can’t hold In the quiet, I break Under every small mistake If I fall, if I don’t Will they hear me at all? [Verse 2 – back to groove, more intensity underneath] Now it’s deeper, yeah it cuts a bit more Same voice but it’s harder to ignore Same game, just a heavier score Same path but it’s bending the floor You keep moving like it’s all okay Keep a smile, keep it all at bay But the rhythm of it never fades Just builds in a different way [Pre-Chorus] And it creeps inside Where you let it hide Now it’s taking hold [Chorus – bigger, layered] In the silence, it grows Every truth I never showed Every time I stayed low Now it’s out of control In the quiet, I shake From the weight I couldn’t say If I break, if I bend Will it start again? [Bridge – stripped, almost spoken, very intimate] Say it soft… Say it low… Say the things you never show… Let it out… Let it breathe… Or it buries underneath… [Build – tension rising, heartbeat + low bass] It was never gone Just waiting on A moment to come through [Final Chorus – full cinematic release] In the silence, I stand With the weight in my hands Every word, every line Now I’m taking back mine In the quiet, I rise Through the pressure inside If I fall, I decide I won’t fade in the quiet [Outro – minimal, echoing] Hello voice… Now I hear you…
