(I've been searching)
(For something inside the noise)
But silence screams louder
When it lives in your voice

I let the chaos settle in
Built a temple from my skin
A thousand thoughts, none of them mine
I drown in stillness every time

Can't fake a smile when I'm alone
Can't feel the light when I've turned to stone

But I'm tired of fighting shadows in my head
I'm tired of waking up and feeling half-dead
If peace exists beyond this cage
Then let me burn and turn the page

Is this what they call inner peace?
A war inside that never leaves
I'm bleeding out, but still I breathe
Maybe pain is how I'm freed

Is this what they call release?
No heaven, no hell, just quiet grief
But if I break, at least I'll be
Something closer to inner peace

I lit a fire, but I froze
In comfort's grip, I came too close
To losing who I swore I'd be
A ghost with eyes that cannot see

So I scrape my soul against the floor
Just to feel something more

All these voices beg for silence
But I was raised on inner violence
If healing means I bleed again
Then open every wound, my friend

Is this what they call inner peace?
A war inside that never leaves
I'm bleeding out, but still I breathe
Maybe pain is how I'm freed

Is this what they call release?
No heaven, no hell, just quiet grief
But if I break, at least I'll be
Something closer to inner peace

(Let it break, let it burn)
(There's no calm without the storm)
(If I'm lost, then let me be)
(If I fall don't rescue me)

I used to think that peace was still
A mirror lake, a silent hill
But now I know it's rising smoke
It's crying hard and never spoke

(Is this what they call inner peace?)
(When all is gone, and I'm released)
(I'm not afraid of losing me)
'Cause what remains is finally free

This is what I call release
No more chains, no more deceit
I cracked, I burned, I ceased to be
And now I live in inner peace
