Verse 1 (Rap)
I hear the quiet like a warning, like a storm before it hits
Every memory is heavy like a weight I can’t dismiss
Tried to bury all the voices but they rise up from the dust
And the truth keeps cutting deeper every time I lose your trust

I’ve been walking through the shadows with a heartbeat out of sync
Every thought is like a whisper that I’m scared to even think
I’m trying to find the courage in the places where I broke
But the silence keeps on choking every word I never spoke

Pre‑Chorus (Singer)
I feel the fire start to rise
Behind the fear, behind the lies

Chorus (Singer — powerful, emotional)
So burn the silence
Let the fire tear apart the violence
I’ve been hiding in the dark too long
But I’m done staying quiet
Burn the silence

Verse 2 (Rap)
I’ve been drowning in the moments where I never said a word
Every truth I tried to swallow was a scream I never heard
Tried to lock away the feelings but they broke right through the door
Now the quiet feels like thunder shaking me down to the core

I’m reaching for the pieces of the man I used to be
But the silence keeps on dragging every weakness out of me
I’m fighting with the shadows that I thought I left behind
But the fire in my chest is the only thing I find

Pre‑Chorus (Singer)
I feel the fire start to rise
Behind the fear, behind the lies

Chorus (Singer)
So burn the silence
Let the fire tear apart the violence
I’ve been hiding in the dark too long
But I’m done staying quiet
Burn the silence

Bridge (Singer + Rap)
Singer:
I’ve been holding back the truth too long, afraid of what you’d see

Rap:
But the silence only kills us, it’s a cage without a key

Singer:
If I scream it to the sky tonight, will you hear me through the flame

Rap:
I’ll be standing in the fire shouting “I won’t hide again”

Final Chorus
So burn the silence
Let the fire tear apart the violence
I’ve been hiding in the dark too long
But I’m done staying quiet
Burn the silence
