--- “BURN THE SILENCE” – Linkin Park Song [Verse 1 – Chester-style] I’ve been walking on the edges of a thought I can’t contain Every whisper turns to thunder in the corners of my brain You say I’m overreacting, but you don’t hear what I hear All the echoes of the damage cutting through me crystal clear [Pre-Chorus] I’m tired of breaking quietly Buried under what's inside of me If you can’t hear the truth I scream I’ll set it free, I’ll set it free [Chorus] Burn the silence Let it fall apart in fire and violence Every word I never said Is rising up inside my chest Burn the silence 'Cause I’m done with hiding all this defiance I’m standing here with open scars Lighting up the dark Burn the silence [Verse 2 – Mike-style rap] Yeah, I spent too long trying not to shake the ground Tried to keep my voice low, tried to tone it down But the pressure kept building with no place to go Till the cracks in the mask started letting it show I don’t wanna be the version that you force me to fit I’m not breaking just to bend to something counterfeit If the truth is a weapon, let it cut through the fear Let the noise in my head be the thing you finally hear [Pre-Chorus] I’m tired of breaking quietly Buried under what's inside of me If you can’t hear the truth I scream I’ll set it free, I’ll set it free [Chorus] Burn the silence Let it fall apart in fire and violence Every word I never said Is rising up inside my chest Burn the silence 'Cause I’m done with hiding all this defiance I’m standing here with open scars Lighting up the dark Burn the silence [Bridge – Chester-style] And I won’t fade again I won’t suffocate within All these secrets that you kept from me They’re gasoline, they’re gasoline [Final Chorus] Burn the silence Let it fall apart in fire and violence Every truth you tried to drown Is screaming as it hits the ground Burn the silence I won’t let the weight pull me into blindness I’m rising through the ash and dust Finally loud enough Burn the silence --
