Lyrics
[Soft Felt Rhodes Intro]
silence is a kind of armor
the candle outlasted the scream.
[Verse 1]
I rose the way the tide obeys, I remember.
I fought the dark with steady breath, still and tender.
a small light held the whole night up, a quiet ember.
a quiet yes can move a wall, now or never.
[Pre-Chorus]
I bent and did not break, pulling me under.
the root holds the storm by staying, I'm not done, I'm not done.
[Chorus]
I don't need to roar to be loud.
I carried the rain without a sound, holding the sound.
the mountain doesn't explain itself, spinning me round.
I don't need to roar to be loud.
[Verse 2]
the candle outlasted the scream, different weather.
I fought the dark with steady breath, we're still together.
a quiet yes can move a wall
light as a feather.
the root holds the tempest by staying, now or never.
[Chorus]
I don't need to roar to be loud.
I carried the rain without a sound, holding the sound.
the mountain doesn't explain itself, spinning me round.
I don't need to roar to be loud.
[Bridge]
Oh, i rose the way the tide obeys, let it mend, let it mend.
a small light held the whole night up, now I'm safe, now I'm safe.
i bent and did not break — I am whole, I am whole.
[Chorus]
I don't need to roar to be loud.
I carried the rain without a sound, holding the sound.
the mountain doesn't explain itself, spinning me round.
I don't need to roar to be loud.
[Outro]
silence is a kind of armor...
i don't need to roar to be loud.
[Fade Out]
