Skin without silence

Lyrics

Verse 1 I wake up choking on my name Every thought’s a loaded gun I stitched my mouth with promises But the screaming never’s done Mirror cracks but I don’t bleed I’ve learned to swallow pain They say I’m calm, they say I’m fine I say nothing — that’s the game Pre-Chorus Hands on my head, Walls closing in I rot from the calm While the chaos grins Chorus Rip the skin off the silence Let the sickness speak I’m a knot in the violence I’m the lie I keep No cure, no guidance Just teeth in my soul If this is surviving Then bury me whole Verse 2 I count the hours like scars on bone Each one screaming “still alive” I smile sharp, I nod along While something in me dies Faith tastes like rust and spit Hope’s just a word they sell I tried to climb out of myself But I’m nailed inside this shell Pre-Chorus Pressure builds Veins like wire I burn in place But I never catch fire Chorus Rip the skin off the silence Let the sickness speak I’m a knot in the violence I’m the lie I keep No cure, no guidance Just teeth in my soul If this is surviving Then bury me whole Bridge (spoken / half-shouted) Don’t tell me I’m broken I’m exactly what you made Fed on fear, raised on hate Taught to smile while I decay Breakdown Cut — Dig — Breathe — Nothing left in me Cut — Dig — Scream — This is what you see Final Chorus Rip the skin off the silence Let it crawl, let it show I’m the pulse of the violence I’m the weight you don’t know No light, no guidance Just fists in the dark If this is surviving Then tear me apart Outro No prayer No peace Just me And the noise underneath
