Ashen - Burn the Silence (Lyric Video)

Ashen - Burn the Silence Wake up in the dark with a pulse like a drum, Smoke in my lungs and my tongue going numb, Every little promise that I made to myself Is rotting on a dusty, broken shelf. I smile for the crowd, I'm a ghost in the frame, Everybody knows me, nobody knows my name, Running from the mirror, but it's following me, Yeah, the loudest voice inside is my own enemy. And I can feel it rising, the pressure in my chest, I've been playing dead for years, now I'm done with the rest! So burn the silence down, Let it hear me scream out loud! I'm not breaking, I'm waking up, I'm tearing off the crown! Burn the silence down, I'm alive and I'm still around! Every scar is a battle song, So burn the silence down! They told me stay quiet, keep it all inside, Pour another poison, wash away the pride, Fake friends cheering while I'm drowning in the sound, Built a wall so high that I can't find the ground. But I've got a fire that you can't put out, Fed on all the lies and the fear and the doubt, Every time you knocked me down, I rose up higher, Now I'm taking back the soul that you tried to retire! And I can feel it rising, the pressure in my chest, I've been playing dead for years, now I'm done with the rest! So burn the silence down, Let it hear me scream out loud! I'm not breaking, I'm waking up, I'm tearing off the crown! Burn the silence down, I'm alive and I'm still around! Every scar is a battle song, So burn the silence down! Sometimes I wonder if anyone hears The words that I swallow, the sound of my fears... But if you're out there, breathing, bleeding too, I'm screaming this for me, and I'm screaming it for you. I WON'T! BE! SILENT! I WON'T! BE! BROKEN! Look me in the eyes — I'M STILL HERE! So burn the silence down, Let the whole world hear the sound! I'm not breaking, I'm waking up, I'm tearing off the crown! Burn the silence down, I'm alive and I'm still around! Every scar is a battle song, So burn the silence down! Burn it down! I'm still here...
