[Intro]
They said it wouldn’t happen
Said I’d never see the day
I just kept my eyes wide open
and I never looked away
---
[Verse 1]
I’ve been down where it’s darkest
I’ve been out where it’s cold
I’ve been told that my vision
was too big for my soul
So I carried it in silence
let it burn like a coal
Some fires don’t need oxygen
they just feed on the goal
Every scar, every closed door
every room going still
Every doubt they threw at me
just sharpened the will
That was fuel, that was data
that was part of the climb
I knew what I knew then
And now I know it’s time
---
[Pre]
No more static
No more doubt
---
[Chorus]
I don’t hear you now
I hear it louder
Every word you said
just made it louder
---
I don’t slow down
I don’t come down
I’ve come too far
an I won’t stop now
---
Say what you want
I won’t come down
It’s not where I’m going
I’m there right now
---
[Hook]
I can’t hear you anymore
I can’t hear you anymore
Locked in on the signal
Opened every door
I can’t hear you anymore
I can’t hear you anymore
Over what I’m here for
---
[Verse 2]
Used to lie awake and wonder
If the doubt might be right
Used to let the noise get in me
Night after night after night
But there’s something about the bottom
when you hit it alone
The only fires that kept burning
Are the ones you lit on your own
So I moved without permission
built it piece by piece
Every loss became a layer
every layer gave me reach
Now the things they called impossible
don’t even feel far
So I’ll move past their doubts
While they stay where they are
—-
[Pre]
No more waiting
No more why
---
[Chorus]
I don’t hear you now
I hear it louder
Every word you said
just made it louder
---
I don’t slow down
I don’t come down
What’s in front of me
I’m living it now
---
Say what you want
I won’t come down
I already know
I’m there right now
---
[Bridge]
This ain’t arrogance
this is evidence
This ain’t luck
this is time well spent
Every night I chose the work
over comfort, over sleep
I gave it everything
now the roots run deep
---
You don’t have to see it
you don’t have to understand
Some things don’t need approval
They just need a plan
---
[Break]
(near silence)
Are you listening?
---
[Final Chorus]
I don’t hear you now
I hear it louder
Every doubt you threw
made it so much louder
So I don’t hear you anymore
