Breaking in Silence

Verse

There's a storm in my chest that won't learn my name

It whispers in mirrors, it feeds on the shame

I smile like a stranger, I sleep with the lights

Fighting my shadows alone every night

Pre-chorus

I'm walking on edges inside of my head

Every word I swallow is something I said

Chorus

I'm breaking in silence, but nobody knows

There's glass between my thoughts and the truth that I hold

I bleed through my feelings, not skin, not bone

Just screaming in colors I can't outgrow

If pain is a language, I'm fluent in it

But I'm tired of talking to the dark like it listens

Verse

I count all the cracks in the ceiling above

Like reasons I'm still not convinced I'm enough

My heartbeat's a drum in a war I can't win

Still I wake up and try—so I'm fighting within

Pre-chorus

I'm scared of the quiet, it knows me too well

It calls me by names I don't ever tell

Chorus

I'm breaking in silence, but nobody knows

There's glass between my thoughts and the truth that I hold

I bleed through my feelings, not skin, not bone

Just screaming in colors I can't outgrow

If pain is a language, I'm fluent in it

But I'm tired of talking to the dark like it listens

Bridge

Maybe hope is a scar that still hurts when it rains

But it proves that I healed, even part of the pain

If I'm still breathing now, maybe that's proof

That the night doesn't own me—no matter the truth

Chorus

I was breaking in silence, now I let it show

I'm learning the weight of the words “hold on”

I'm more than my echoes, my fear, my past

I don't have to disappear to make this last

If pain is a chapter, I'll turn the page

I'm still here—still standing in the flame

Outro

Still here.

Still breathing.

Still mine.
