Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
Stillness
Listen
[Verse 1]
At its core, that glare got a story
Under all that spit, there’s a quarry
Unmet need, fear in a hoodie
Grief in the jaw, talkin’ “you don’t see me fully”
You bark loud ‘cause your heart never got fed
You slam doors ‘cause your hope never got said
I see smoke, but I know where the flame been
Way past the fire, where the shame lives
[Chorus]
Stillness is a mirror, hold it up, don’t move
Let the rage keep talkin’ till it tells the truth
Under every “I hate you” is “please don’t leave”
Under every cold stare is a cracked belief
Stillness is a mirror, steady as you breathe
Soul lookin’ past the blaze at a buried need
You can point at the wound or you can start to mend
I’ll be quiet as a question, here to help you bend
[Verse 2]
Contempt on your tongue like armor
You laugh cruel just to feel larger
You say “you’re the problem,” but I hear hunger
Whole life thunder, nobody heard the rumble under
Fear in the fists, grief in the teeth
All those “never agains” folded in the crease
You wanna burn bridges just to feel seen
But ash don’t answer, it just leans
[Chorus]
Stillness is a mirror, hold it up, don’t move
Let the rage keep talkin’ till it tells the truth
Under every “I hate you” is “please don’t leave”
Under every cold stare is a cracked belief
Stillness is a mirror, steady as you breathe
Soul lookin’ past the blaze at a buried need
You can point at the wound or you can start to mend
I’ll be quiet as a question, here to help you bend
[Bridge]
What if that fire’s just a flare for help? (help)
What if that sneer’s just a mask you felt? (felt)
If you’re ready, I can sit right through it
Let the silence show the center of it
[Chorus]
Stillness is a mirror, hold it up, don’t move
Let the rage keep talkin’ till it tells the truth
Under every “I hate you” is “please don’t leave”
Under every cold stare is a cracked belief
Stillness is a mirror, steady as you breathe
Soul lookin’ past the blaze at a buried need
You can point at the wound or you can start to mend
I’ll be quiet as a question, here to help you bend
