Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was built in your shadow
Hands at attention, heart locked down
Your name in my ribs like a medal
That never learned to make a sound
You handed me rules like armor
Told me "stand still, don't break"
So I wore that weight like a uniform
And called it strength, called it fate
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't know where to put this pain
It rattles around in me
I learned to march in a straight line
Never learned how to bleed
[Chorus]
Silent soldier, I'm still here
Silent soldier, hold me near
I was made to obey
Not made to feel this way
Silent soldier, hear my plea
Teach these hands to carry me
I was built for the fight
But I want to live tonight
[Verse 2]
Now I'm staring at my reflection
Like it's a room I never knew
Every bruise is a question
And every answer leads to you
You said "be tough, be smaller"
So I folded up my flame
Now I'm choking on all this weather
And I don't even know my name
[Pre-Chorus]
But something in me is waking
Like a door in the dark
If I was never shown how to be human
I'll start with a heart
[Chorus]
Silent soldier, I'm still here
Silent soldier, hold me near
I was made to obey
Not made to feel this way
Silent soldier, hear my plea
Teach these hands to carry me
I was built for the fight
But I want to live tonight
[Bridge]
If I shake, let me shake
If I cry, let it rain
I am not a machine
I am more than your pain
[Final Chorus]
Silent soldier, I'm still here
Silent soldier, hold me near
I was made to obey
Not made to feel this way
Silent soldier, hear my plea
Teach these hands to carry me
I was built for the fight
But I want to live tonight
Silent soldier, be kind
I'm learning to be mine

Style
Alternative pop ballad with half-time pulse, fingerpicked electric guitar and low synth drones; verse stays close-mic and restrained, pre-chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and rising toms, chorus opens into a wide melodic hook with doubled lead and soft gang vocals on the anchor phrase. Add reversed swells into each chorus, a tape-sat lead line in the turnaround, and a final lift with breathy ad-libs. Intimate, glossy, and aching
