Silence Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'd rather be a lover than a fighter (Fighter)
'Cause all my life, I've been fighting
Never felt a feeling of comfort, oh
And all this time, I've been hiding
And I never had someone to call my own, oh nah
I'm so used to sharing
Love only left me alone
But I'm at one with the silence
[Chorus]
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one and I've been quiet for too long
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one and I've been silent for too long
[Drop]
I've been quiet for too long
I've been quiet for too long
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one and I've been quiet for too long
[Verse 2]
I'm in need of a savior (Savior), but I'm not asking for favors
My whole life, I've felt like a burden
I think too much, and I hate it
I'm so used to being in the wrong, I'm tired of caring
Loving never gave me a home, so I'll sit here in the silence
Yeah, I'd rather be a lover than a fighter (Fighter)
'Cause all my life, I've been fighting
Never felt a feeling of comfort, oh
And all this time, I've been hiding
And I never had someone to call my own, oh nah
I'm so used to sharing
Love only left me alone
But I'm at one with the silence
[Chorus]
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one and I've been quiet for too long
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one and I've been silent for too long
[Drop]
I've been quiet for too long
I've been quiet for too long
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one and I've been quiet for too long
[Verse 2]
I'm in need of a savior (Savior), but I'm not asking for favors
My whole life, I've felt like a burden
I think too much, and I hate it
I'm so used to being in the wrong, I'm tired of caring
Loving never gave me a home, so I'll sit here in the silence
[Chorus]
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one and I've been quiet for too long
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one and I've been silent for too long
[Drop]
I've been quiet for too long
I've been quiet for too long
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one and I've been quiet for too long
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one and I've been quiet for too long
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one and I've been silent for too long
[Drop]
I've been quiet for too long
I've been quiet for too long
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one and I've been quiet for too long

As the song progresses to the chorus, Khalid expresses the strength that the storyteller has found to overcome their fears of talking and deciding to break the “silence” they’ve felt trapped in up until now.
