Title: “Loud at Night” Verse 1 Late night, lights low, room still But my mind won’t ever be still Thoughts running circles in my head Things I feel but never said I move through life, they pass me by I show my work, I try, I try I give my heart, I give my best Still feel like I’m less, I’m less Pre-Chorus I carry dreams they never see A quiet weight inside of me I’m doing more than they believe But no one’s looking back at me Chorus My thoughts get loud when it’s dark outside I lay awake, asking myself why I wanna live, I wanna shine But I’m scared of losing time I’m not ready for the endless sleep That silence everybody speaks I just wanna be seen alive Not fade away in the night Verse 2 Some days I’m strong, some days I break Fighting fears I couldn’t shake They say “you’re young, don’t overthink” But my mind won’t let me blink I give my all, no guarantees Still waiting on my chance to be More than someone in the crowd More than quiet, more than loud Pre-Chorus I don’t need fame, I don’t need praise Just space to breathe, to find my way I know there’s light inside my chest I just want it to be recognized Chorus My thoughts get loud when it’s dark outside I lay awake, asking myself why I wanna live, I wanna shine But I’m scared of losing time I’m not ready for the endless sleep That silence everybody speaks I just wanna be seen alive Not fade away in the night Bridge (soft, emotional) Sometimes I fear closing my eyes What if I don’t wake up this time It’s not that I don’t wanna rest I just still got more life left I still got dreams to chase Still got words I haven’t said Final Chorus My thoughts get loud, but I’m still here Trying to push through all this fear I wanna live, I wanna try I wanna feel the morning light I’m not afraid to feel the pain I’m afraid of slipping away I just wanna be seen alive Let me shine before goodbye Outro Loud thoughts Quiet room I’m still here
