Lyrics
[Soft Felt Piano Intro]
This room is used to silence
Everyone looks down, pretending not to see
[Verse 1]
I sit at the end of the table, fists clenched
The right words trembling in my throat
So many times before I swallowed them back
For peace, yet my heart kept aching
[Pre-Chorus]
Today my gaze lifted
Meeting another gaze that was also waiting
[Chorus]
My voice broke the quiet
My voice echoed, melting the wall of silence
My voice broke the quiet
I spoke up though my voice still shook
[Verse 2]
The other person paused, then nodded slightly
Another voice from that corner rang out too
Silence broke into honest words
We both stood on the right side
[Chorus]
My voice broke the quiet
My voice echoed, melting the wall of silence
My voice broke the quiet
I spoke up though my voice still shook
[Bridge]
Silence is often complicity
So speaking up is how you keep yourself
I don't need a loud voice to be heard
[Chorus]
My voice broke the quiet
My voice echoed, melting the wall of silence
My voice broke the quiet
I spoke up though my voice still shook
[Outro]
I've spoken up now
The room is no longer still as a grave
[Fade Out]
[End]
