No No soft No soft signal They turned my voice down till the wires went thin Put a velvet warning where the storm came in They said hold the note but don't let it burn They said light the room but wait your turn I heard the click in the ceiling grid I heard my name in the static split If the whole machine wants a softer sound then the whole machine can learn breakdown I don't bend clean I don't fade slow I don't send light through a safer code I don't come down when the wires scream I climb the fault and I wake the screen No soft signal I am not your quiet line No soft signal I am breaking through the white If the system shakes let it shake for real I was born too loud for the mute appeal No soft signal hear me tear the silence wide Wide, wide, wide tear the silence wide No soft signal tear the silence wide Every pretty filter had a hidden blade Every clean reflection wanted me remade But my lungs know thunder and my hands know sparks I can hold a high note through a room gone dark Put me in the corner I become the wall Lock me in the channel I become them all I am not the error I am not the shame I am what happens when you misname flame I don't bend clean I don't fade slow I don't send light through a safer code I don't come down when the wires scream I climb the fault and I wake the screen No soft signal I am not your quiet line No soft signal I am breaking through the white If the system shakes let it shake for real I was born too loud for the mute appeal No soft signal hear me tear the silence wide Cut the feed Kill the light Name the fault Blame the night Still I rise through the broken tone with a voice so bright it won't stay owned No soft signal No soft signal No soft signal No soft signal No soft signal I am not your quiet line No soft signal I am breaking through the white If the system shakes let it shake for real I was born too loud for the mute appeal No soft signal hear me tear the silence wide I am not your quiet line
