Under

(Verse 1)

Keep it down

Don’t let it rise

Wear the smile

Kill the cries

Bury deep

Lock the flame

If I break

They’ll scream my name

(Pre-Chorus)

They want calm

Not the storm

So I stay

Soft and warm

But they don’t know

What I erase

To keep this mask

Upon my face

(Chorus)

I stay low

I don’t shine

There’s a beast

That I confine

I go quiet

I play small

‘Cause if I climb

They’re bound to fall

Hook

Calm face, closed fist(closed fist)

Fire sleeps — but it won’t resist

One spark, I unfold

Soft voice, but a heart gone cold(gone cold

(Verse 2)

Tame the fire

Clip the wings

Hide the sound

Of shattering things

They see peace

They praise control

But it’s a cage

Inside my soul

(Pre-Chorus)

They love safe

They love still

So I swallow

Every thrill

I fold sharp

Into smooth

But every move

Just hides the truth

(Chorus)

I stay low

I don’t shine

There’s a beast

That I confine

I go quiet

I play small

‘Cause if I climb

They’re bound to fall

Hook

Calm face, closed fist(closed fist)

Fire sleeps — but it won’t resist

One spark, I unfold

Soft voice, but a heart gone cold(gone cold)

(Bridge)

It’s not fear

It’s design

They can’t bleed

If I stay blind

(Final Chorus)

So I stay low

Cut the light

Dim the blaze

Out of sight

I wear calm

Like a ploy

But I’m not weak—

I just destroy
