Verse 1 – Low, deliberate, controlled]
Silence don’t scare me
It recognize me
Like a locked room
That breathe when I breathe
I stopped asking why it hurt
Started asking what it taught
Every pause in my chest
Every word I never fought
I don’t rush the dark anymore
I let it take its seat
If it came to test my balance
It learned how I stand on feet
They mistook my distance for doubt
My calm for retreat
But you don’t hear the blade move
When it’s already beneath
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Tension held, no lift yet]
Breath stay slow when the ground feel thin
Pulse stay even when the noise rush in
Peace ain’t soft, it’s disciplined
Every scar learned where to sit
⸻
[Hook – Muted, cold clarity]
I’m alone
But I don’t feel empty now
Yeah, I don’t
This quiet showed me how
I’m alone
But it don’t echo back
Nah, it won’t
I stand where the sound collapsed
⸻
[Verse 2 – Deeper, reflective, heavier weight]
I seen love fold under pressure
Seen truth beg to stay
I learned if it’s meant to live
It don’t need me to pray
I stopped reaching for hands
That shake when it’s still
Started trusting the part of me
That don’t bend, don’t kneel
Every night taught me patience
Every loss drew a line
I ain’t missing what left me
It was never really mine
Now I sit in the aftermath
No crown, no flame
Just a name that don’t tremble
When the world say my name
⸻
[Pre-Chorus 2 – Subtle rise, still restrained]
Heart don’t race—I let it listen
Stillness loud when I stay within
I don’t chase what don’t align
I let time do what it did
⸻
[Bridge – Spoken, detached, almost instructional]
If they needed noise to believe
Let ’em
Some truths only speak once
I don’t explain my quiet
I enforce it
Peace don’t argue
—it adjusts
They ask how I stay standing
I say nothing
And that answer usually hurt
⸻
[Final Refrain – Minimal, resolute]
I was lonely
Now I’m still
There’s a difference
No fear
No rush
Just will
And distance
⸻
[Outro – Last breath, no music]
Silence didn’t save me
—I mastered it
