The Silence Inside Me Grew

The Silence Inside Me Grew - MIRA VEYL

词：Zhong Junxian

曲：Zhong Junxian

The silence

inside me grew

At first it was a quiet corner

somewhere I could rest

Then it moved into my mornings

and settled in my chest

I kept living around it

I kept saying I was fine

But silence does not stay small

when you feed it all your time

I thought I was protecting myself

I thought I was staying clean

But I made a room so quiet

it stopped letting me in

The silence inside me grew

larger than I knew

It took the words I almost said

and made them hard to use

The silence inside me grew

until it filled the space

Now I am standing in my own life

trying to hear my name

People think a quiet person

must have found some kind of peace

They do not see the heavy nothing

slowly learning how to breathe

I do not want to stay untouched

I do not want to stay this safe

If silence is a shelter

why does it feel like a cage

I thought I was protecting myself

I thought I was staying clean

But I made a room so quiet

it stopped letting me in

The silence inside me grew

larger than I knew

It took the words I almost said

and made them hard to use

The silence inside me grew

until it filled the space

Now I am standing in my own life

trying to hear my name

Let one word come back

Let one feeling move

I will not ask for everything

I just need something true

The silence inside me grew

larger than I knew

It took the words I almost said

and made them hard to use

The silence inside me grew

until it filled the space

Now I am standing in my own life

trying to hear my name

The silence

inside me grew
