I Won't Go Quiet

Intro

Oh-oh, ah-ah, yeah

(hold on) (hold on)

Verse

Broken mirrors on the ceiling, I can see the fractures run

A whisper turned to knuckles, the glass remembers what I've done

I wear the scars like roadmaps, a crooked smile, a borrowed gun

Counting one more heartbeat, but the night says I'm not the one

Pre-chorus

I feel the skyline tilt, and my teeth grind on the sound

It's louder in the hollow where the quiet used to drown

(come on) (come on)

Chorus

I won't go quiet, I won't fade away, no

I won't go quiet, I won't fade away, no

Scream it out, scratch the truth into the gray, oh

Scream it out, scratch the truth into the gray, oh

Verse

Red-line thoughts like railway ties, they bend but never break

I learned to move like thunder — slow, deliberate, awake

You try to sell me kindness like a brand new razor blade

But mercy's just a rumor when the price is how I chase the pain

Pre-chorus

The ceiling drops again and I decide to stand my ground

I trade a little anger for the oxygen I've found

(uh-huh) (uh-huh)

Chorus

I won't go quiet, I won't fade away, no

I won't go quiet, I won't fade away, no

Scream it out, scratch the truth into the gray, oh

Scream it out, scratch the truth into the gray, oh

Bridge

Let the riff cut clean like a confession in the rain

(na-na-na) Let the siren teach you how to say my name

I'm not a shadow of your warning, not a promise you can keep

I'm the thunder in the hallway, I'm the secret you won't sleep

(yeah, yeah)

Chorus

I won't go quiet, I won't fade away, no

I won't go quiet, I won't fade away, no

Scream it out, scratch the truth into the gray, oh

Scream it out, scratch the truth into the gray, oh

Chorus

I won't go quiet, I won't fade away, no

I won't go quiet, I won't fade away, no

Scream it out, scratch the truth into the gray, oh

Scream it out, scratch the truth into the gray, oh
