Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I lived in the shadow
of my younger sister
never heard, always seen
Told to fold in tighter
Taught to be silent
better to be seen and not heard
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore that lesson like a scar
kept my thunder in a jar
Made to bow my head and bend
made to disappear again
[Chorus]
Silent soldier, silent soldier
I was built to obey
Silent soldier, silent soldier
But I’m breaking today
(not anymore)
I was never just a shadow
I was more than they could name
[Verse 2]
They said, "Keep your mouth closed"
like that was wisdom
Like my truth would make a stain
I was raised on little pieces
of somebody else's picture
Told my fire was a shame
[Pre-Chorus]
But the walls I was made to hold
started shaking, started to fold
All that quiet turned to heat
now I hear my own heartbeat
[Chorus]
Silent soldier, silent soldier
I was built to obey
Silent soldier, silent soldier
But I’m breaking today
(not anymore)
I was never just a shadow
I was more than they could name
[Bridge]
I don't need permission
to take up space
I don't need their blessing
to say my name
All that hush, all that pressure
couldn't keep me in line
I was buried in the silence
Now I'm rising this time
[Final Chorus]
Silent soldier, silent soldier
I was built to obey
Silent soldier, silent soldier
But I’m breaking today
(not anymore)
I was never just a shadow
I was more than they could name
Silent soldier, silent soldier
Watch me step out of the shade
