[Verse 1]
I see their eyes, they’re waiting on a word,
The weight of expectation hangs like thunder unheard.
The clock is ticking, their patience wearing thin,
But my voice is locked in a cage beneath my skin.
[Pre-Chorus]
They don’t hear the screams in the quiet,
The battle in my chest growing defiant.
A tempest brews where my words should be,
Trapped in the silence that’s swallowing me.
[Chorus]
It’s a silent storm, crashing in my mind,
Lightning in my veins, but the words won’t find
A way to the surface, they’re lost in the roar,
I’m drowning in a silence they can’t ignore.
[Verse 2]
Their voices echo, each word like a demand,
Reaching out for answers I can’t command.
I feel the tension pull tighter every breath,
The louder they speak, the closer to the edge of death.
[Pre-Chorus]
They don’t know the war I’m fighting,
Every glance feels like indicting.
I’m screaming loud where no one can see,
Held hostage by the quiet inside of me.
[Chorus]
It’s a silent storm, crashing in my mind,
Lightning in my veins, but the words won’t find
A way to the surface, they’re lost in the roar,
I’m drowning in a silence they can’t ignore.
[Bridge]
If I could break this dam, let the flood pour out,
Would they hear my voice or turn away in doubt?
Would the storm die down, or just rage on?
Am I only strong when the silence stays strong?
[Final Chorus]
It’s a silent storm, crashing in my mind,
Lightning in my veins, but the words won’t find
A way to the surface, they’re lost in the roar,
I’m drowning in a silence they can’t ignore.
[Outro]
I’m a storm without thunder, a fire without flame,
A voice in the darkness with no one to name.
Maybe someday this silence will speak,
But for now, I’m the quiet they seek.
