Burn the Silence

[smooth_high_end] [softened_cymbal_transients] [balanced_stereo_field] [tape saturation, subtle analog warmth] [intro rock piano] I’ve been choking on the quiet, like a mouth full of smoke I can’t spit out. Every locked door, every sideways glance, got me pacing these walls ’til they shake apart. You think I’ll fade if I stay still, but I’m the spark that won’t sit still. Burn the silence down tonight, light it up and watch it fight. Every word they tried to hide, I’m screaming louder, screaming louder. Burn the silence down tonight. I’ve been scribbling on the margins, lines too jagged for your pretty frame. Tape deck chewing up my voice again, but the feedback only feeds the flame. You think I’ll drown if I don’t kneel, but I’m the wound that will not heal. Burn the silence down tonight, light it up and watch it fight. Every word they tried to hide, I’m screaming louder, screaming louder. Burn the silence down tonight. Turn the volume past the red — let the speakers crack and bleed. If you’re waiting for my quiet, you’ll be waiting without me. Burn the silence down tonight, set the wires all alight. Every voice they tried to bind, I’m screaming louder, screaming louder. Burn the silence down tonight.
