[Verse 1] Every room remembers what I never chose to say Dust hangs on the picture frames where brighter colors fade I learned to wear a steady face that never asked for more While every hidden answer gathered just behind the door [Pre-Chorus] One more breath, one more disguise One more truth behind my eyes [Chorus] I'm gonna drown the silence before it buries me Turn every whispered doubt into a rising sea No more watching life drift past from somewhere out of sight I'm gonna drown the silence and bring these words to light [Verse 2] The miles were never measured by the distance we could see They grew inside the quiet where we let our voices leave Promises became like smoke that slipped through open hands Not because they couldn't last... because we never made a stand [Pre-Chorus] Fear can build the strongest walls Until one honest heartbeat calls [Chorus] I'm gonna drown the silence before it buries me Turn every whispered doubt into a rising sea No more watching life drift past from somewhere out of sight I'm gonna drown the silence and bring these words to light [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] If the ground should break beneath these feet Then let it break where I can see I'd rather face the storm ahead Than live beneath the words unsaid No turning back No closing in This is where my voice begins [Final Chorus] I'm gonna drown the silence before it buries me Wash away the empty years that stole the best of me Every breath is louder now than all my fear combined I'm gonna drown the silence... and leave the dark behind I'm gonna drown the silence, let every echo fade Stand inside the truth at last, unafraid The walls are falling one by one, the horizon finally clear I drowned the silence... and I can finally hear
