How many times do I have to bite my tongue?
Hide the fire in my lungs just to watch another day go by
How many scars do I have to wear unseen?
Cover everything I mean just to keep the silence alive
They call it weakness because they never learned restraint
They mistake kindness for something they can break
If I walk away, it doesn't mean I'm wrong
Some battles feed the dark by proving they belong
So I'll carry all this weight without becoming hate
Sometimes the strongest soul is the one that doesn't retaliate
How many dreams need to disappear from sight?
How many truths stay out of fights so they don't drown inside the noise?
Watching anger wear a crown, watching ignorance get loud
Love keeps whispering somehow, even when it has no voice
If I lose today to save the man I'll be, then maybe losing is another kind of victory
No poison in my veins, no vengeance in my hands
I'd rather guard my soul than make them understand
Let them scream into the night
I'll become the morning light
The world can keep its endless fight
I'll keep what's left of me alive
