[Verse 1]
Woke up with my jaw still clenched
Teeth full of every word I never said
Skin feels thin as paper
Heart like a hallway
Echoing regret
[Chorus]
I wanna be heard in the dark
Let the hurt show its teeth
Leave a mark
If I’m breaking apart
Then I’m breaking loud
I wanna be heard in the dark
Every scar screaming out like a spark
If I’m breaking apart
I’ll be the thunder in the crowd
[Verse 2]
They say “you’re too much
Calm down”
I’m just a storm they tried to fence in
Smiling for the background shots
While my thoughts slam doors inside my head
[Chorus]
I wanna be heard in the dark
Let the hurt show its teeth
Leave a mark
If I’m breaking apart
Then I’m breaking loud
I wanna be heard in the dark
Every scar screaming out like a spark
If I’m breaking apart
I’ll be the thunder in the crowd
[Bridge]
Turn the light off
Let the fear talk
I am still here
I am still raw
Turn the pain up
Till the mask cracks
If this is me
I’m never going back (never going back)
[Chorus]
I wanna be heard in the dark
Let the hurt show its teeth
Leave a mark
If I’m breaking apart
Then I’m breaking loud
I wanna be heard in the dark
Every scar screaming out like a spark
If I’m breaking apart
I’ll be the thunder in the crowd
I wanna be heard in the dark
