Paper skin, I barely feel
Words like raindrops, slow and real
Cracks beneath the silent sheen
Hide the places I have been

Don't say it's fine—
You never tried—
This heart is
Tied…

Scream in a quiet vein
Tear through the sugar pain
This dream's not soft, it bites
Waking me up at night
Can't stay in silent snow
Let the distortion grow

Breathing in the softest lie
Your touch like smoke passing by
Glassy eyes in amber light
Tremble just before the fight

You stitched me closed—
But I still bleed—
The noise I
Need—

Scream in a quiet vein
Tear through the sugar pain
This dream's not soft, it bites
Waking me up at night
Can't stay in silent snow
Let the distortion grow

Crack the calm, crack the calm,
Set the storm in my palm...

Scream in a quiet vein
Burn down the perfect frame
Shatter the stars you gave
Dance on the soundwave grave
This isn't peace, it's flame
Still, I'll scream your name—
In a quiet vein…
