Lyrics;

[Intro]

Every room has its rhythm.
Every face, a mask rehearsed.
Noise isn't connection
it's camouflage.
They talk to blend in.
I listen to stand out.
I don’t need an entrance.
They say silence is golden...
I call it volume...


[Chorus]

Call it volume
The sound you make when truth gets too loud.
Call it volume
I don’t raise my voice just to join the crowd.
Call it volume
You measure me by what I didn’t say,
But silence was the only honest note I played.


[Verse]

They baptize every moment in opinion and reply,
Preach connection in a crowd, but they’d let a real one die.
They label me a problem ‘cause I won’t perform on cue,
But sometimes saying nothing is the loudest thing you do.
They weaponize their laughter, fake warmth like a smile,
But kindness wears thin when you’ve watched it for a while.
I’m not antisocial I’m just fluent in restraint,
And silence don’t mean absence, it just means I ain’t faint.
Laughter leaks like perfume, loud to hide the rot,
But I’ve lived in quiet corners where the screaming never stops.
They fear what I don't offer no comfort, no reply,
Like if I don’t say I’m harmless, I might be the reason why.


[Pre-Chorus]

They say silence is golden...
I call it volume...


[Chorus]

Call it volume
The sound you make when truth gets too loud.
Call it volume
I don’t raise my voice just to join the crowd.
Call it volume
You measure me by what I didn’t say,
But silence was the only honest note I played.


[Verse]

The loudest in the room ain’t leading, they’re afraid,
Trying to drown the voice inside that tells them what they gave.
They traded depth for echo, traded stillness for a screen,
Now they fear the quiet ones ‘cause we don’t play their machine.
You want a quote to pin me down, a soundbite to define,
But I won’t give you that comfort I won't reduce this mind.
I walk in like a question you can’t answer without pain,
A silence that don’t break, but breaks you just the same.
Isn't it funny how silence starts to scream,
When a quiet one won't play into their dream?
I don't whisper threats I just won't pretend,
And that unsettles folks more than a raised hand.


[Bridge]

They beg for noise 'cause quiet breeds reflection
And most can’t face their own infection.
It’s not me they fear it’s the mirror I become,
A mute reminder of what they’re running from.


[Pre-Chorus]

They say silence is golden...
I call it volume...


[Chorus]

Call it volume
Not how loud you talk, but what cuts through.
Call it volume
I speak in shadows, and still I move you.
Call it volume
Where silence reigns and truth lays bare,
Don’t mistake my quiet for not being there.


[Outro]

Don’t mistake my quiet for not being there

Silence
