BREAK the QUIET

rock, Raw live-rock energy with gritty male vocals over driving acoustic strums and punchy drums, Verses stay tight and tense with palm-muted guitar and dry kit; chorus explodes with open-chord bashes, tom fills, and gang shouts on key phrases, Brief breakdown in the bridge drops to kick and vocal, then slams back in with a crash-heavy outro, strong, acoustic

[Verse 1] Woke up to the same old ceiling Paint cracked like an inside joke Coffee in a chipped white mug Breathing in another stuck-up day Phone buzz But I let it rattle Can’t stand one more hollow line Mirror shows a restless stranger Eyes saying “you’re running out of time” [Chorus] I’m gonna break the quiet Set this tired room on fire Beat my heart against the riot ‘Til the doubt falls flat on the floor I’m gonna shake these faded walls With every shout Every chord I strum I won’t fade I won’t stay numb I’m gonna break the quiet [Verse 2] Old shirt But the seams still hold Scars stitched where the fabric tore I’ve been folding all my anger Tucking it in the bottom drawer [low vocal register] Now I’m lacing up my backbone [buildup drums start] Heel stomp on the wooden frame Every bruise Every late-night tremor All of it is fuel for the flame [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] One breath Two steps Bare feet on the splintered floor [full voice] I’m done asking for permission As the sticks start counting four (two, three, four!) [crescendo] Hit hard Let the neighbors hear it Let the pictures rattle on their hooks If I vanish in the morning At least I tore these pages from the book [Chorus] I’m gonna break the quiet Set this tired room on fire Beat my heart against the riot ‘Til the doubt falls flat on the floor I’m gonna shake these faded walls With every shout Every chord I strum I won’t fade I won’t stay numb I’m gonna break the quiet I’m gonna break the quiet I’m gonna break the quiet I’m gonna break the quiet
