Here comes a wave meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder
But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down
I won't be [Am]silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tɾemble when you [A7tɾy it
All I know is I won't go speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they tɾy to [C7]suffocate me
Don't you [A7underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
Written in stone, every ɾule, every word
Centuries old and [Bm]unbending
Stay in your place, better seen and [Bm]not heard
Well, now that story is ending
'Cause I, I cannot start to [C7]crumble
So come on [C7]and [Bm]tɾy
Try to [C7]shut me and [Bm]cut me down
I won't be [Am]silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tɾemble when you [A7tɾy it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be [Am]broken
No, I won't live unspoken
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
Try to [C7]lock me in this cage
I won't just lay me down and [Bm]die
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn across the sky
Hear the echoes saying
I won't be [Am]silenced
Though you [A7wanna see me tɾemble when you [A7tɾy it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they tɾy to [C7]suffocate me
Don't you [A7underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
