Verse 1 Midnight glow from a borrowed screen Everybody’s louder than they mean Cheap shots fly, they don’t ever miss But she learned real quick what strength is They talk big, they flex and pose Try to crown themselves kings of noise She just smiles, lets the record spin Knows how every real thing begins Pre-Chorus She’s seen the cracks behind the crown Knows who’s lost and who’s found When the room gets heavy, she breathes it out Lets the music do the talking now Chorus She don’t scream, she don’t break She just plays it louder All that hate fades out of range When the needle finds its power Verse 2 Comments bite like broken glass Everybody judging, nobody asks How it feels to show up clean When the world feeds off being mean She don’t sell the fire, don’t fake the flame Just opens the door, says “come, stay” Rock and metal, ghosts of youth Eighties dreams still ringing true Bridge (Emotional Peak) She’s not here to win their war Or prove what she’s been through before Every scar learned how to sing Every night’s a small victory Let ‘em talk, let ‘em doubt Love’s still louder than the crowd Final Chorus (Repeat, lift vocals) She don’t scream, she don’t break She just plays it louder All that hate fades out of range When the needle finds its power Let it roll, let it ride… (repeat with backing vocals, open harmonies) Outro When the lights go low, she stays the same Just a heartbeat riding the wave No more anger, no more fear Just great music pulling us here
