Lyrics

[Intro]
I feel the room get loud; my shoulders do not answer.

[Verse 1]
Raised voices in a kitchen drilled holes through my breath,
Cabinets slammed and I'd duck before the echo hit,
Jaw welded shut, counting tiles till the wave rolled off,
Hands tracing exits like prayers on the paint.

[Build]

[Chorus]
You slam the door — there's only stillness where the flinch used to be,
My spine stays level; your thunder breaks and runs around me,
The loudest room on earth, and I don't move, I don't blink.

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
Bar-light shatters glass and laughter into sharp little clicks,
Bootsteps in the hallway used to turn my ribs to sticks,
I trained for impact; now breath weights my feet to ground,
The twitch in my shoulders retires without a speech.

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
You slam the door — there's only stillness where the flinch used to be,
My jaw unlocks, and your weather moves around me clean,
The loudest room on earth; I don't move, I don't bleed.

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
Say it plain: this body is mine, and it's quiet.
Hinge rattles, walls breathe, and I stay.

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
Only stillness where the flinch used to be.
