(Voice cracked, soft and raw)

They say I look calm…

But inside, there’s a war no one sees.

I carry silence like a weapon…

Verse 1 – Male Baritone Vocal, raspy and slow]

I walk through fire, with a frozen face

My scars are hidden in a holy place

Every breath’s a war, every smile’s a mask

No one sees the weight in the simplest task

They see peace in my eyes, but they don’t know

The thunderstorm that rages below

I’ve learned to speak with quiet pain

To cry in silence, again and again

Pre-Chorus – Whispery Chant, echo effect]

I’m not broken, just battle-worn

I wear my pain like a crown of thorns

The world sees calm — but inside I scream

In the shadows of my unspoken dream...

Chorus – Child Church Choir, Angelic and Haunting]

I look calm and ready

But I’m burning inside

Heaven holds me steady

While I’m drowning in the tide

I look calm and ready

But I’m bleeding unseen

Only God can steady

The storm inside of me

Verse 2 – Male Baritone Vocal, stronger delivery]

I’ve been the soldier in my own collapse

Prayed in silence, with my hands in traps

Fought demons with a trembling breath

And danced with the ghost of death

They say "you’re strong, you never fall"

But they don’t hear the voices crawl

They don’t feel the weight I bear

Or see the cracks beneath my stare

Bridge – Prayer / Modlitwa (Spoken, Male Voice – whispered but intense, under rising pads & strings)]

(spoken slowly over eerie strings and rising sub-bass)

Dear God…

I don’t ask for peace without war.

I don’t ask for light without the night.

I only ask for strength

…when I’m about to fall.

I only ask You to hold my soul

…when my hands are shaking.

Let my silence be heard by You

…when the world stops listening.

(music swells…)

Instrumental Drop – Progressive Dubstep Build + Drop]

— Haunting strings stretch into tension… atmospheric synths rise… echoing heartbeat-kick speeds up… then—

DROP:

Wide, distorted 808 bass pulse

Gated choir samples echoing fragments of the chorus

Glitchy vocal chops of "calm… inside… storm…"

Subtle guitar feedback textures

Echoing snare rolls

Low-end growl bass oscillation

Psytrance-style rhythmic pulses between pads

Orchestral string stabs layered with granular delay effects

(This drop is both spiritual and explosive — a sonic battle between calm and chaos.)

(Soft, echoing, almost whispered)

I look calm and ready…

But I’m breaking inside…

Heaven holds me steady…

Chorus – Child Church Choir + Baritone Harmony]

I look calm and ready

But I’m burning inside

Heaven holds me steady

While I’m drowning in the tide

I look calm and ready

But I’m bleeding unseen

Only God can steady

The storm inside of me

Outro – Strings Solo + Whispered Fade Out]

So next time you see peace in my eyes…

Look closer —

It might be the calm… before I rise.
