Hey! — Hey! — Can you hear it?
Talk — to a wall, watch it nod and turn away
Throw the truth, hits the floor, like I got nothing to say
Locked — every door before I even knock
You wanna mute the signal? Go ahead and try to block
But I'm — done getting small just to fit inside your room
Fire in the corner and it's ready to consume
You scan right past me like I'm static on your dial
I've been quiet way too long — not anymore, not for a while
You can look away
You can turn it down
But you can't unhear me now —
LOUD! — I'm gonna say it loud!
Drown out every voice in this faceless crowd!
You wanted me quiet, you wanted me gone
But I'm only getting LOUDER from here on!
(Loud! Loud!) — Can you hear it now?
(Loud! Loud!) — I won't back down!
Cut — me off again, just feeds the flame
Took the silence that you gave, made it into my name
Riot — in a whisper, scream behind a grin
Been polite for way too long, now the gloves are coming in
Crank — your noise up loud, it's never gonna land
I scream in colors that you'll never understand
Call it just a phase, go ahead, I'll wait
While I burn the quiet down and walk right through the gate
You can look away
You can turn it down
But you can't unhear me now —
LOUD! — I'm gonna say it loud!
Drown out every voice in this faceless crowd!
You wanted me quiet, you wanted me gone
But I'm only getting LOUDER from here on!
(Loud! Loud!) — Can you hear it now?
(Loud! Loud!) — I won't back down!
You thought the silence meant that I agreed
You thought the quiet meant defeat
But I was just reloading — NOW LISTEN!
LOUD! — I'm gonna say it loud!
Tear right through this silence, I'm done being drowned!
You wanted me quiet, you wanted me gone
But I'm only getting LOUDER from here on!
(Loud! Loud!)
Can you hear it now?more
