[Intro]
They only hear you
When something breaks…

[Verse 1]

I stopped asking questions a long time ago
Started learning which lines I could cross real slow
Every warning sounded like background noise
When you grow up quiet… you weaponize voice

Didn’t need school, didn’t need their rules
Just needed something that cut through the dull
Every day felt like a room with no door
So I started kicking holes in the walls just to feel something more

[Pre-Chorus]

You call it trouble, I call it proof
That I exist when I shake the room
If peace is silence, I don’t belong
I’d rather be wrong… than invisible long

[Chorus]

Make me noticeable, I don’t care how
If I gotta burn it down just to be heard now
Every siren sings like a lullaby
When the world finally looks me in the eye

I don’t need saving, I need the spark
Something that cuts through the quiet dark
If pain is the price just to feel alive
Then light the match, I’ll fan the fire

[Verse 2]

Deputy’s grip and a badge in my face
Said I crossed the line, I said “name the place”
Cold floor, cold stare, cuffs too tight
But for once in my life… I was in the spotlight

One night locked in, yeah, just a taste
Of what it feels like to not be erased
Next day free like it never was real
But I remembered exactly how attention feels

[Bridge]

Scraping paint under a dead sun sky
Four-H walls and a forced “why try”
They called it service, I called it time
Just counting seconds till I crossed the next line

[Verse 3]

He put his hands where they didn’t belong
Didn’t think twice, just proved him wrong
Fists don’t lie, they don’t pretend
Sometimes they speak when nothing else can

Back in a cell, same concrete stare
Same hollow echo hanging in the air
But deep inside, something clicked
This is the only way I exist

[Breakdown]

Say it again,
“Calm down, behave”

Nah…

You don’t hear me
Unless I misbehave

[Final Chorus]

Make me noticeable, I’m fading out
Turn me into something you can’t ignore now
Every line I cross is a signal flare
Screaming through the silence that no one hears

I don’t want mercy, I want reaction
Chaos feels more real than your compassion
If this is the only way I survive…
Then I’ll be the storm… just to feel alive

[Outro]

You only saw me…
When I broke something…

So I learned…

To never stop breaking…
