Still

[Verse 1] I don’t speak just to be heard I keep my fire under the dirt No thunder when I walk through pain But there’s a flood behind my name [Pre-Chorus] Don’t mistake the quiet sound There’s a storm that don’t come out I’ve learned to breathe beneath the weight What looks calm can devastate [Chorus] Still — but I’m deep like the sea Dark things moving under me No ripples, no sign, no scream But I’ve drowned stronger things in me Still — like a prayer never said Like a fire that burns cold instead Don’t think I’m soft or asleep Still waters… still run deep [Verse 2] I don’t break, I bend slow Carry wounds that you won’t know My silence holds what others fear I’ve held truths no one gets near [Pre-Chorus] I let them talk, let them guess They don’t see what I don’t express But in this chest, beneath this skin Is a weight that pulls within [Chorus] Still — but I ain’t ever light I move quiet, but I bite I don’t shout, don’t chase, don’t plead But I bleed where no one sees Still — like a sky before it breaks Like a hand that never shakes You won’t see it, but it’s steep Still waters… still run deep [Bridge] Still don’t mean safe Still don’t mean tame Still don’t mean I’m not alive It just means I burn inside [Final Chorus] Still — and you’ll never know What I carry down below I might whisper, I might sleep But trust — I run deep Still — like the calm before the storm Like a blade that’s never worn I look quiet, I look weak But still waters… still run deep
