I speak into the quiet Like it might answer back Every word feels heavier When the world goes flat No echo in the hallway No witness to the truth Just the sound of breathing And the weight of you I learned how to stand still When everything moved on Kept my fire hidden Buried under stone There’s a calm in the breaking When you stop the fight Let the dark sit And call it night Silence isn’t empty It remembers every scream Keeps a list of promises You never meant And it’s watching me I don’t need the thunder To know the storm is real I carried every warning I refused to feel I don’t beg the heavens I don’t curse the flame The stillness doesn’t judge me Stillness knows my name I’ve seen faith turn to weapons Love go cold Truth buried deep Under lies we sold Every scar’s a lesson Every breath is earned You don’t fear the fire Once you’ve burned Say it louder Say it clean Say it like you mean it now No more hiding No release No forgiveness handed down I don’t need redemption I don’t need your crown I stood inside the silence When the walls came down I bled for every answer Paid for every name You can keep your heaven I survived the flame You don’t know me You don’t own me You don’t get to decide I was forged in the quiet Where the weak don’t hide I don’t need the thunder To prove I’m still alive I walked out of the darkness With my soul intact No applause No shame Just a calm that remains Now I speak into the quiet And it finally stays No demand No disguise Just the truth And the space Stillness knows my name...
