Adelle Hart - Perfect Silence Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Masterclass spotlight, burning through my skin
Your words like arrows, where do I begin?
Perfect posture, smile painted on
While you dissect each note I've drawn
In this sterile room, I'm holding back the storm
Keeping cool, though my spirit's torn

[Pre-Chorus]
They say composure is a virtue
But baby, if they only knew
The hurricane inside of me
The thunder that they'll never see

[Chorus]
In perfect silence, I'm screaming
Through pristine notes, I'm bleeding
Watch me turn your poison into gold
This quiet rage, I'll own it
Your criticism, I've grown it
Into something you can't control

[Verse 2]
White-knuckled fingers on ivory keys
Playing by your rules with practiced ease
But underneath this calm facade
There's a fire that you can't prod
Your academic words can't touch
The soul you think I've lost so much

[Bridge]
I won't give you the satisfaction
Of seeing me break down
In this perfect silence
I wear my thorny crown
F*ck your validation
I've found my sacred ground

[Chorus]
In perfect silence, I'm screaming
Through pristine notes, I'm bleeding
Watch me turn your poison into gold
This quiet rage, I'll own it
Your criticism, I've grown it
Into something you can't control

[Outro]
Your voice fades to nothing
While mine keeps on humming
In perfect silence
I rise
In perfect silence
I fly
In perfect silence
I shine
