[Verse 1]
Talked me down, I went quiet
Bit my tongue, kept it private
Words piled up in my chest
Heavy stones under my ribs
I got notes on the floor
I got truth at the door
I been circling the block
Looking for the missing spark
They took a piece, not the whole
Still, I felt it in my throat
Every room got too small
Every yes felt too low
I was there, but I faded
Name on the page, but I erased it
Now I’m scraping up the sound
From the bottom, from the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that crack in the silence
That’s me cutting through it
I was lost, now I’m lighting
Every nerve I got
One breath, then I take it
One word, then I shake it
I been quiet way too long
Now I’m coming on strong
[Chorus]
Get my voice back
Get my voice back
Say it loud, say it now
Get my voice back
Get my voice back
Get my voice back
I was gone for a minute
Now I’m in it
[Verse 2]
Wore my hush like a chain
Smiled through all of the strain
Had a storm in my mouth
But I let it burn out
I remember the day
They said, „leave it that way“
I did not, I just learned
How to swallow the burn
Now the beat in my chest
Got me ready for the test
If they ask who I am
I’m the answer in my hand
I’m the cut in the curtain
I’m the truth still working
I’m the name I forgot
I’m the seed and the shot
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that crack in the silence
That’s me cutting through it
I was lost, now I’m lighting
Every nerve I got
One breath, then I take it
One word, then I shake it
I been quiet way too long
Now I’m coming on strong
[Chorus]
Get my voice back
Get my voice back
Say it loud, say it now
Get my voice back
Get my voice back
Get my voice back
I was gone for a minute
Now I’m in it
[Bridge]
[Half-time break]
No more shrinking
No more waiting
No more swallowing the fire
I was made for this
Let it shake
Let it break
Let it echo through the room
Till it sounds like me
[Final Chorus]
Get my voice back
Get my voice back
Say it loud, say it now
Get my voice back
Get my voice back
Get my voice back
I was gone for a minute
Now I’m in it
Get my voice back
Get my voice back
This is mine, this is mine
Get my voice back
