[Intro]
When it gets quiet, every thought finds a mouth
[Verse 1]
Room goes still, then the ceiling starts talking
Cold little footsteps in the places I’m watching
They know every doubt that I bury beneath me
Dress up a lie like it came here to free me
One says, “You’re finished,” one says, “You’re forgotten”
I keep my hands steady, refuse what they’re plotting
They circle my name with a mouth full of venom
But fear is a visitor—I don’t have to let it in
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear them, I don’t obey
They bend the truth, I check the frame
[Chorus]
When it gets quiet, the voices get loud
Conversations with demons, but I won’t bow down
They attack my doubts, try to write what I think
Twist my perception right to the brink
They whisper fears, they sell deception
But they can’t control me through a twisted perception
I know what is mine, I know what is true
The noise may surround me, but it doesn’t choose
[Verse 2]
They pull old receipts from a locked-up drawer
Turn one bad night into a lifelong war
Put a crack in the mirror, call the fracture my face
Build a courtroom in my skull, then appoint themselves the case
I’ve mistaken their volume for something divine
Let a passing thought wear the shape of a sign
Now I name every trick when it enters the room
No throne for a panic, no crown for the gloom
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear them, I don’t obey
They bend the truth, I check the frame
[Chorus]
When it gets quiet, the voices get loud
Conversations with demons, but I won’t bow down
They attack my doubts, try to write what I think
Twist my perception right to the brink
They whisper fears, they sell deception
But they can’t control me through a twisted perception
I know what is mine, I know what is true
The noise may surround me, but it doesn’t choose
[Bridge]
Let the silence come
Let the questions rise
I can face the dark
Without believing every lie
If a thought is a weapon
I can set it down
If a fear is a signal
It doesn’t mean danger now
[Final Chorus]
When it gets quiet, the voices get loud
Conversations with demons, but I won’t bow down
They attack my doubts, try to write what I think
Twist my perception right to the brink
They whisper fears, they sell deception
But they can’t control me through a twisted perception
I know what is mine, I know what is true
The noise may surround me, but it doesn’t choose
[Outro]
When it gets quiet
I remain
The room is still
And I have my name
