Storm Beneath The Silence

Lyrics

Verse 1

Six months felt like years when the plane touched the sky,Dad was chasing work far away while we stayed behind.Mama searched for answers, praying doors would open wide,And my older brother left, another light out of my sight.

So I learned how to grow before I should've had to,making sure my little brother made it safely through.Carrying a weight that nobody else could see,A kid in the mirror trying hard to be a man for the family.

Pre-Chorus

Every "I'm okay" was another brick in the wall,Stacked so high I couldn't hear my own heart call.I kept it all buried, locked away inside,Till the pressure found a crack and the anger came alive.

Chorus

There's a storm beneath the silence,A shadow where the sunlight used to stay.I'm smiling while I'm sinking,Watching pieces slowly drift away.And every night I wonderedIf the dawn would ever find my soul.I was lost inside the darkness,Trying to fill a hole I couldn't hold.

Verse 2

I started running with the wrong crowd just to feel I belonged,Skipping class, chasing trouble, singing someone else's song.Clouds of smoke and bad decisions couldn't numb the ache,Just painted over broken things that never truly changed.

I pushed away the people who were reaching out their hands,Lashing out at everyone who tried to understand.Deep inside I'd tell myself, "Just keep moving, you'll be fine,"But the hurt I kept denying kept growing all the time.

Pre-Chorus

Every "I'm okay" was another brick in the wall,Stacked so high I couldn't hear my own heart call.I kept it all buried, locked away inside,Till the pressure found a crack and the anger came alive.

Chorus

There's a storm beneath the silence,A shadow where the sunlight used to stay.I'm smiling while I'm sinking,Watching pieces slowly drift away.And every night I wonderedIf the dawn would ever find my soul.I was lost inside the darkness,Trying to fill a hole I couldn't hold.

Bridge

Then mercy met me where I was,Not where I thought I'd have to be.Jesus found the shattered parts,And breathed His life back into me.

He taught my heart to heal instead of hide,To lay my burdens down instead of fight.The road is long and sometimes I still lose my way,But I'm not who I was yesterday.

Final Chorus

There's a light beyond the shadows,A fire that the cold could never steal.The scars are still reminders,But they no longer tell me what is real.And when the anger finds me,I remember who carried me through it all.I was lost inside the darkness,Now I'm standing where His grace can fall.

Outro

Six months, one year, a thousand tears I never showed,But God was writing strength inside the pain I didn't know.And if my story helps another heart that's feeling torn,Then every broken chapter led to who I am reborn.
