(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
