Silent Storms

[Intro]
Silent storms brewing in her soul
Dragging through the night, trying to stay whole
Every day’s a battle, shadows on her mind
Lost, but she keeps walking, leaves the dark behind
[Verse 1]
Coffee gone cold on the counter
Same old song on the phone
Makeup hiding little earthquakes
No one sees when she’s alone
[Pre-Chorus]
She’s held her breath for years now
Keeps her hurt in paper walls
One more crack, they’ll all come crashing
But she’s tired of feeling small
[Chorus]
Silent storms don’t scare her anymore
She’s been struck and burned, she’s crawled across the floor
Thought she’d break, but look at her now (look at her now)
Standing in the rain, head up in the clouds
She was lost, now she’s driving through the roar
Silent storms don’t shake her anymore
[Verse 2]
Rearview town in the mirror
Dusty sign fading slow
Every mile another memory
She’s not carrying home
[Pre-Chorus]
She turns her tears into prayer lines
On the wheel at 2 a.m.
Breathing deep, she finds her center
Feels her heart come back again
[Chorus]
Silent storms don’t scare her anymore
She’s been struck and burned, she’s crawled across the floor
Thought she’d break, but look at her now (oh, look at her now)
Standing in the rain, head up in the clouds
She was lost, now she’s driving through the roar
Silent storms don’t shake her anymore
[Bridge]
Let the thunder talk, let the sky get loud
She’s the steady ground in a screaming crowd
Every scar she wears is a proof of life
Every broken night lit the fire inside (yeah)
[Chorus]
Silent storms don’t scare her anymore
She’s been struck and burned, she’s walked through every door
Thought she’d break, but look at her now (look at her now)
Singing through the rain, louder than the clouds
She was lost, now she’s writing her own score
Silent storms don’t shake her
Silent storms don’t break her anymore

country, Modern country-pop ballad with female vocals; soft picked acoustic and airy pads in the intro, kick and warm bass sneaking in by the pre-chorus; chorus opens with big drums, stacked harmonies, and a wide electric guitar bed, then drops back to intimate verses for a slow-burn, anthemic arc, slow, pop, soul
