Thread of Silent Sound

[Intro] Yeah, I’ve been talking to the mirror again, innit Two sides of the same brick, one in the skin, one beneath the skin [Verse 1] I keep receipts for every lie I told myself Pocket full of regrets, I count them like a shelf Grew up with the hum of buses and rain on the roofs Conversations with my doubt, yeah, I heard them in the booth Close mic, close heart, I’m confessing half of it loud Truths wear a hoodie, I’m tripping, but I’m standing now I’m not a poster boy, more like a weathered page Trying to patch the chapters with the ink that’s left to age [Pre-Chorus] If I tell you I’m broken, do you hear the bite in the tone? If I tell you I’m healing, is the scars still on the bone? [Chorus] I’m not finished, I’m still here, I’m still learning how to breathe If the night repeats the questions, I’ll answer with what I believe Layered hums, I’m building a chorus from the quiet in my chest Smoldering, insistent, I’ll rise again, I’ll rise with the rest [Verse 2] Used to run from the echoes, now I walk with them slow Conversations with my past partners, that never let go Tiny victories in the day’s small, stubborn fights I pocket them like tips, in the corners of my nights [Pre-Chorus] If I tell you I’m growing, will you see the calluses fade? If I tell you I’ll be okay, can I borrow your faith? [Chorus] I’m not finished, I’m still here, I’m still learning how to breathe If the night repeats the questions, I’ll answer with what I believe Layered hums, I’m building a chorus from the quiet in my chest Smoldering, insistent, I’ll rise again, I’ll rise with the rest [Bridge] Rattle of trains, the heart in a gentler pace Confessions spill out, but I wear them like grace If resilience is a flame, I’m feeding it slow Until the room fills up with a soft, defiant glow [Chorus] I’m not finished, I’m still here, I’m still learning how to breathe If the night repeats the questions, I’ll answer with what I believe Layered hums, I’m building a chorus from the quiet in my chest Smoldering, insistent, I’ll rise again, I’ll rise with the rest [Outro] So I keep the close talk, keep the real talk closer Two voices, one body, moving in a tighter closure
