Lyrics

Verse 1

I'd shout if I knew my voice could break through the storm,

But you're lost in the rush,

in the rhythm,

in the form.

So I stay quiet,

let the words sink to the floor.

Pre-Chorus

I dreamed I stood inside a house I knew before,

Packed with strangers, walls vibrating from the roar,

I'd bleed the noise away

if silence

had a cure,

Just to feel the air turn still,

to feel it

pure.

Love the quiet -let it heal what's torn and sore.

Chorus

Don't say a word - just help me see the colors shine,

Hold my hand and make this chaos feel like time.

Make the fighters lower their blades, step away from the fight,

Let their captain fade into the dark, out of sight.

Let the battle end without a single spark or light.

Verse 2

I'm scared you'll never hear the language I speak inside,

It's old and worn,

a tongue no one remembers now,

I lied -

No, I didn't lie: it's true,

it's lost between the lines.

And I stay quiet,

while the ground

beneath me

sighs.

It cracks a little, tells me change is on the rise-

A new generation rising

from the silence's

eyes.

Chorus

Don't say a word - let me breathe without the weight,

Pretend we're the only ones the world could ever make.

Hold me close and let the war outside just fade away,

Let them surrender to the calm, to the day.

Verse 3

I want to pull back, hide away from all the pain,

Without you, I don't know if I'll ever be the same.

Hold my hand - I'm drowning in the space between alone and known,

Chorus

Tell me, silence, who I am when I've grown into someone new,

Every dream a little soul that's searching for a clue,

For a voice, for a hand, for someone who will see it through.
