Words get tangled like roots in rain, Choking truths I can’t contain. Every whisper feels like sin, So I swallow fire again. I joke, I dodge, I paint the mask, A masterpiece of things unasked. But silence howls it’s not benign, It carves its name down my spine. I’ve been the phantom, I’ve been the ghost, I’ve been the lie I needed most. But every secret leaves a scar It’s time to speak, to raise the bar. Say what you mean let it ignite, Set the dark on fire tonight. The world won’t end; it’ll survive Say what you mean come alive The static clears I find the core, The part of me I’ve killed before. My shadow kneels, my fear unspools, I’m done obeying fragile rules. Why build prisons out of breath? Why make peace with living death? There’s power sleeping in your scream Wake it up, split the dream. Say what you mean let it detonate, Rip through the sky, obliterate. Truth’s the fuse, the flame, the art Say what you mean and burn the cage apart. Let it rumble through the ash and air, Every word a dare, a prayer. The world won’t end it just begins, When the voice inside finally wins. 2025 Lyrics by Nikki H. / GenXDreams
