[Intro] Clear the table… (strange lantern up high) [VERSE 1] They don’t speak when the light is near They wait for silence to disappear Smiles stay clean when the room feels tight But I hear truth in the edge of night They stack their words like borrowed steel But nothing fake ever stays concealed I seen the weight behind the calm I felt the storm inside the palm ⸻ [PRE CHORUS] And it builds in my chest like sound Like something buried in the ground No more holding, no more thin disguise I see it now through different eyes ⸻ [MAIN CHORUS] Clear the table—watch it break I don’t bend for what you make Clear the table—hear the sound Of everything that held me down ⸻ [POST CHORUS] Hey… I feel it now Hey… I feel it now ⸻ [VERSE 2] I learned the art of standing still While silence sharpened every will They thought I folded, thought I bent But quiet was the message sent Now every word they tried to hide Turns into echoes on my side I don’t need noise to make it real I let the truth decide the feel ⸻ [BRIDGE] You ever notice how truth don’t scream… It just arrives… and changes the scene… (pause) Yeah… ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS] Clear the table—watch it break I don’t bend for what you make Clear the table—hear the sound Of everything that held me down Clear the table—let it fall I won’t shrink—I stand through all [Outro] Clear the table… [End]
