[Verse 1] You don’t move like you’re afraid of the fall You move like you’ve been falling too long Like gravity forgot how to hold you And silence is where you belong You keep your hands just out of the light Like something in you might show You wear the dark like it’s your design But I’ve seen what you don’t [Pre-Chorus] You learned to breathe where it burns You learned to love what it takes You call it strength when it hurts But I know what you had to break [Chorus] You read the silence like a signal Like it was calling you ho-o-ome You call it power, but I… I know where it’s from You built a crown out of scars Just to hide who you are You think you’re lost in the dark But you’re not that far [Verse 2] You don’t look back, you erase Every version that couldn’t survive You carry time like a weight in your chest But never let it arrive You speak in edges and flame Like softness would cost you control But I can hear through the noise that you make To the shape of your soul [Pre-Chorus] You learned to stand in the fire You learned to turn into stone You call it staying alive But you don’t have to be alone [Chorus] You read the silence like a signal Like it was calling you ho-o-ome You call it power, but I… I know where it’s from You built a crown out of scars Just to hide who you are You think you’re lost in the dark But you’re not that far [Bridge] (harmonics build) You were never the storm you became You were sky before everything changed You don’t have to keep playing the part You don’t have to keep breaking your heart (soft layer) I see the place that you hide Where the child never learned how to cry (full harmony) You don’t have to survive me tonight You don’t have to fight [Final Chorus] (full bloom) You read the silence like a signal Like it was calling you ho-o-ome You call it power, but I… I know where it’s from You built a crown out of scars But I see who you are You think you’re lost in the dark But you’re not that far [Outro] So rest where the silence won’t bite You don’t have to disappear to feel right I won’t turn away from the truth in your eyes You don’t have to hide
