Speechless

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 (I won't start to crumble)

Whenever they try

To shut me or cut me down

I won't be silenced

You can't keep me quiet

Won't tremble when you try it

All I know is I won't go speechless

'Cause I'll breathe

When they try to suffocate me

Don't you underestimate me

'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Written in stone, every rule, every word

Centuries old and unbending

"Stay in your place, better seen and not heard"

Well, now that story is ending

'Cause I

I cannot start to crumble

So come on and try

Try to shut me and cut me down

I won't be silent

You can't keep me quiet

Won't tremble when you try it

All I know is I won't go speechless, speechless

Let the storm in

I cannot be broken

No, I won't live unspoken

'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

Try to lock me in this cage

I won't just lay me down and die

I will take these broken wings

And watch me burn across the sky

Hear the echoes sayin'

I won't be silenced (I won't be silenced)

(Silenced, be silenced)

No, you won't see me tremble when you try it

(Yeah, you wanna see me try, yeah)

All I know is I won't go speechless, speechless (Oh, whoa)

'Cause I'll breathe

When they try to suffocate me (When they try to suffocate me)

Don't you underestimate me (No)

'Cause I know that I won't go speechless (Speechless)

All I know is I won't go speechless, speechless
