I Won’t Lay Here (And Be Silent)

[Intro - whisper/sing] That's right... he's our dad... But I’m the one you tried to erase... [Verse 1 - rap] Fifteen candles, she was just a kid But your father lit the match, now look what he did Told her hush, told her hide, told her never tell Now I carry all that silence like a living hell I ain’t your sob story, I’m the glitch in your script The ghost in your system, the truth you resist You said “just stop” — like I’m a shame to contain But I’m a sermon with scars, and I’m screaming her name [Pre-Chorus - melodic sing] You buried the truth in your bloodline But I clawed through the dirt just to find mine... [Chorus - powerful melodic hook] I won’t lay here and be silent I was born from the fire, not compliant Your words echo like a war drum riot But I’ve got her voice in me — defiant I won’t— No, I won’t— Lay here and be silent [Verse 2 - rap] Bastard son of the story you deny The reason your name feels like a lie Don’t call it drama — it’s divine unrest You inherited pride, I inherited the mess You were raised in the house, I was raised in the void Taught to shrink, taught to fill the space with noise But I learned pain is a prophet if you let it speak And silence is the altar where the guilty sleep [Bridge - screamed/sung hybrid] No repentance without the wreckage No healing without the name Your comfort ain't my mission I'm dragging all the shame [Final Chorus - layered vocal build-up] I won’t lay here and be silent Every wound I carry is vibrant Truth burns in me like a siren I'm the voice of the ones you've been hiding I won’t— No, I won’t— Lay here and be silent
