Dead Quiet Rage

Silence louder than a scream

You don’t know what that means

Say less—yeah I keep it compressed

Every thought getting locked in a cage in my chest

Play calm—yeah I pass every test

But the pressure keep building, it’s cracking the rest

Stay still—keep a mask on tight

Smile clean while I rot inside

Say “fine”—like I’m doing alright

While the fuse burns down out of sight

Every slight gets filed away

Every word that you say gets stored in a place

Where it twists, where it breaks, where it builds into weight

Till it turns into something you cannot contain

I don’t yell—I absorb

Turn the pain into a core

Every second wanting more

Till it’s something I can’t ignore

Dead quiet rage inside—no warning, no place to hide

It’s a storm you’ll never see till it breaks and comes alive

I’ve been holding every line while it eats me up alive

Dead quiet rage inside—now there’s nowhere left to hide

Hold tight—yeah I play my role

Keep peace while it eats my soul

Stay low—never lose control

Till it spikes—then I overload

All the tension, all the strain

All the moments I restrained

Every time I took the blame

Just to keep you all the same

Now it’s stacking, now it’s real

Now it’s something I can feel

In my chest, in my throat

Like a blade that never dulls

No release—no escape

Just a sealed internal state

Every breath starts to shake

Like I’m seconds from the break

Dead quiet rage inside—no warning, no place to hide

You won’t see it building up till it hits you like a tide

I’ve been silent way too long, I’ve been buried way too deep

Dead quiet rage inside—now it’s something I can’t keep

Snap—explode—lose control

Let it out—burn it whole

No restraint—no disguise

You’ll see truth in my eyes

(half clean)

You never saw it coming

You never heard a sound

But all the weight you gave me

Is what’s collapsing now

Dead quiet rage inside—now it’s tearing through the seams

Everything I kept contained is exactly what you see

I was silent, I was steady, I was everything you needed

Now the quiet’s finally broken—and there’s nothing left to keep it

Silence… gone.
