STOMACH FULL OF SILENCE

Verse 1 I grew up with a stomach full of silence Learning early how to read the climate Every shift in tone and air Said more than words were willing to share Thin walls, long nights Careful steps and guarded eyes Every pause, every breath Taught me how to measure depth I didn’t speak just to be heard I learned the weight behind each word Pre-Chorus Silence isn’t weakness If you know what it can build Chorus I had a stomach full of silence But silence sharpened me Made me patient Made me see You can hear the truth When the room goes still You don’t need the noise When you’ve got the will Verse 2 I watched how pride can lose its ground How shame can never make a sound How love can hold without display And still survive another day I saw how loud can look like strong But quiet outlasts it long So I chose steady over proud Learned to stand without the crowd Pre-Chorus 2 When you grow up listening close You start to see what matters most Chorus (wider, stacked) I had a stomach full of silence It didn’t make me small It made me steady Made me tall You can stand your ground Without a sound You don’t need a crown To hold your ground Instrumental Lift (Guitar builds, tension rises) Bridge (drop – slower feel, raw rasp) Silence taught me timing Taught me when to move Taught me how to carry weight Without something to prove You don’t need to dominate To control a room You don’t need to raise your voice To decide the tune Full of silence… Full of fire… Final Chorus (anthem lift) I had a stomach full of silence But silence made me strong It didn’t cage my future It showed me where I belong You can grow in shadow You can rise unseen You can build a fire That burns clean Extended Outro Full of silence Full of fire Full of silence Rising higher You can stand You can stand Even in the dark
