[Intro: Soft piano, distant breath]
Whispers in the quiet…
Only I have known…
This silence?
It’s not empty.
It’s screaming.
[Verse 1]
Lost in a crowd, i'm never seen —
My voice, a ghost behind a screen.
I smile through cracks they call “just stress,”
While my soul’s buried in a chest
That won’t unlock, won’t break, won’t cry —
Just holds the weight beneath my sky.
[Pre-Chorus]
But in the dark, where no one goes,
A tremor stirs… and softly grows.
Not loud enough to make them turn…
But loud enough to *know* I’m still here.
[Chorus]
This is my quiet earthquake —
A shattering no one hears.
A whisper of truth, bare and real —
The only thing I still hold dear.
In the space between the words I don’t say,
I mourn… I breathe… I learn to stay.
This song’s for the lonely, the ones who hide —
The last words I leave…
…before I’m gone inside.
[Verse 2]
They say “You’re strong,” but they don’t see
The nights I beg the walls to be
Something more than cold and still —
A mirror that reflects my will.
A voice that says, *“I’m here with you,”*
Not when you’re fixed…
But when you’re broken through.
[Pre-Chorus]
In my silent chaos, I find my name —
Not in the noise… but in the flame
That won’t die out, though no one lights it —
Just burns in me… and won’t let go.
[Chorus]
This is my quiet earthquake —
A shattering no one hears.
A whisper of truth, bare and real —
The only thing I still hold dear.
In the space between the words I don’t say,
I mourn… I breathe… I learn to stay.
This song’s for the lonely, the ones who hide —
The last words I leave…
…before I’m gone inside.
[Bridge: Music drops to near silence — only voice and faint cello]
Hold on…
Even when they leave.
Even when the silence wins.
Even when you think you’re done…
Your soul still sings —
Not for them.
For *you*.
Let it echo.
Let it crack.
Let it be enough…
…that you’re still here.
[Outro]
So here’s my whispered confession —
No forgiveness needed.
No apology to give.
Just this:
My quiet earthquake…
…is sacred.
My silent screams…
…are grace.
And if you’re listening…
…you’re not alone.
I’m here.
And I’m still breathing.
