[Verse 1] I’ve been holding my breath in a room full of sound Every word on my tongue never makes it out I smile like I’m fine, but the cracks still show I’m breaking in places you’ll never know [Pre-Chorus] I swallow the truth just to keep the peace Every heartbeat begging for release [Chorus] My silence screams when I can’t speak It tears me open, it’s killing me I’m drowning in words I never say Still calling out, still fading away If you could hear what I can’t let show You’d know the pain I hide below My silence screams—can you hear me now? [Verse 2] I’ve been living between what’s right and wrong Playing strong when I’ve been weak so long Every promise I make to stay unseen Is another scar carved into me [Pre-Chorus] I bend, I break, I disappear Just to keep my demons quiet here [Chorus] My silence screams when I can’t speak It tears me open, it’s killing me I’m drowning in words I never say Still calling out, still fading away If you could hear what I can’t let show You’d know the pain I hide below My silence screams—can you hear me now? [Guitar Solo – melodic, emotional lead guitar, minor key, slow build into soaring sustained notes, expressive bends and vibrato, cinematic, 8–12 bars] [Bridge] I’m done pretending I don’t feel I’m done bleeding just to heal If I fall apart tonight At least I know I tried to fight [Breakdown] I won’t be your ghost anymore I won’t be silent, I won’t ignore [Final Chorus] My silence screamed, but now I speak I’m not your shadow, I’m not weak I survived the dark inside I won’t be buried alive You can hear me, I won’t break This is the breath I couldn’t take My silence screamed—now I’m loud [Outro] I’m still standing in the sound Finally heard, finally found
