[Verse 1 — soft, almost whispered]
There’s a room where no one speaks,
Where names are buried underneath
The weight of what they told us
We were never meant to be.
There’s a child behind a door,
Holding back a world of war,
Learning how to disappear
So they won’t hurt anymore.
[Pre-Chorus — low and restrained]
But I have seen the quiet break,
I have watched the shadows shake,
When one small voice begins to rise
And says, “I’m not ashamed.”
[Chorus — powerful, emotional]
So let the colors in the dark
Burn like fire, burn like stars.
Every scar and every heart
Has the right to leave a mark.
No more hiding who you are,
No more dying in the dark.
Raise your voice and let it spark—
There are colors in the dark.
[Verse 2 — clean guitar/piano, Vex’s voice rougher]
They called it wrong to feel too much,
To want a hand, to need a touch,
To look into another soul
And call that feeling love.
They built their walls with holy lies,
Painted fear as “saving lives,”
But love was never theirs to cage,
And truth was never theirs to hide.
[Pre-Chorus — growing]
And I have heard the silence bend,
When lonely hearts become a hymn.
A thousand whispered, trembling names
Become a roar again.
[Chorus — fuller, drums entering]
So let the colors in the dark
Burn like fire, burn like stars.
Every scar and every heart
Has the right to leave a mark.
No more hiding who you are,
No more dying in the dark.
Raise your voice and let it spark—
There are colors in the dark.
[Bridge — slow, heavy, emotional]
To the ones who had to run,
To the ones who lost someone,
To the ones who learned that home
Could be a loaded gun.
To the ones who still survive,
With a painted brave disguise,
You are not the shame they gave you.
You are not their lies.
[Build — Vex nearly screaming now]
You are the dawn after mourning.
You are the pulse beneath the skin.
You are the song they tried to silence
Rising up again.
[Final Chorus — huge, arena-like]
So let the colors in the dark
Burn like fire, burn like stars.
Every scar and every heart
Has the right to leave a mark.
No more hiding who you are,
No more dying in the dark.
Raise your voice and let it spark—
There are colors in the dark.
[Outro — soft again, fading]
There’s a room where no one speaks,
But the silence starts to leave.
Someone takes another’s hand,
And finally learns to breathe.
