These words, Run through my head Silenced not once, But twice instead They carry weight, They carry meaning, But they suffocate In all this feeling A tremor in my chest, A shaking in my bones, Every syllable confesses What silence disowns ’Cause silence never saves, It only hides the sound The music’s in my veins, And it’s breaking out right now If you’re listening in the dark, Can you feel what I’ve become The unspoken now are spoken, And my voice has just begun The worry of retaliation— It humbles me still But my truth is impatient, It breaks through my will An audience gathers, Their faces unknown, But my words find their rhythm— And I’m not alone ’Cause silence never saves, It only hides the sound The music’s in my veins, And it’s breaking out right now If you’re listening in the dark, Can you feel what I’ve become? The unspoken now are spoken, And my voice has just begun Maybe they’ll fall on deafened ears, But I’ll sing through my fears The melody’s mine, After all these years Silence never saves, The music must play on The unspoken are spoken, And I am finally strong If you’re listening in the dark, Know this fight’s been long But I’m free now, I’m free in my song
