[Verse 1] Posters on the wall Bands I loved more than myself Hiding in my headphones Drowning out everybody else Thought I’d just play backup Stay behind the curtain Small Then the world started breaking And I heard that distant call [Chorus] I used to only turn it up for me Now I’m shaking heaven Cracking concrete Every little tremor Every heartbeat I can make it loud I can make it mean From bedroom dreams to rescue teams I go Plugged into the chaos I won’t fold Earphone Jack Turning fear into a roar I’m not background sound anymore [Verse 2] Training till my hands hurt Strings cut into purple skin Calling out my own flaws Letting someone else tune in You said that I was stronger Than the doubts inside my chest Guess a quiet girl can answer When the world screams for the best [Chorus] I used to only turn it up for me Now I’m shaking heaven Cracking concrete Every little tremor Every heartbeat I can make it loud I can make it mean From classroom nerves to frontline shows I go Plugged into the chaos I won’t fold Earphone Jack Turning fear into a roar I’m not background sound anymore [Bridge] I’m still scared of the silence Still scared I’ll miss a note (woah) But I stand my ground beside you Feel your courage in my throat If my hands are gonna shake Let them shake the air apart Let them find the buried rhythm Of a terrified heart [Chorus] I used to only turn it up for me Now I’m shaking heaven Cracking concrete Every little tremor Every heartbeat I can make it loud I can make it mean From bedroom dreams to rescue teams I go Plugged into the chaos I won’t fold Earphone Jack Turning fear into a roar Call my name I’ll answer with a chord I’m not background sound Not background sound Anymore
