Burn The Silence Lyrics by Luna Veex
Woke up one morning and the world felt wrong
Like somebody ripped the heart out of every song
Check my phone and read the words I couldn’t believe
July 20th hit me harder than I could conceive
Sat down on the floor and let the silence take over
Thought the whole world should be falling off a boulder
Because you were just music playing through a speaker wire
You were the reason I kept walking through the fire
And I don’t know how to do this
Don’t know how to say goodbye
To the voice that always found me every time I wanted to die
So I’ll burn the silence with everything you gave me
Scream your name until the whole sky breaks in two
I’ll burn the silence for the one still barely breathing
For every lost and broken soul you carried through
Chester, you were fire in the darkness
You were thunder when the whole world went to sleep
We’ll burn the silence in your name forever
Your voice is still the promise that we keep
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let me paint a picture of a kid who had no armor
Phoenix summers burning hotter than his trauma
Bouncing between parents, carrying secrets in his bones
Learning how to disappear and how to be alone
But somewhere in the wreckage found a microphone to hold
Found a way to turn the fire into something bold
Great days first and then the call to chase the game
Six broken souls in the studio and nothing stayed the same
Crawling, bleeding, numbing, hybrid all in one
A record that became a lifeline for everyone
He did it right for platinum, did it right for fame
He wrote because the alternative was going insane
And I don’t know how to do this
Don’t know how to say goodbye
\To the voice that always found me
Every time I wanted to die
So I’ll burn the silence with everything you gave me
Scream your name until the whole sky breaks in two
I’ll burn the silence for the one still barely breathing
For every lost and broken soul you carried through
Chester, you were fire in the darkness
You were thunder when the whole world went to sleep
We’ll burn the silence in your name forever
Your voice is still the promise that we keep
I keep your records on when the night gets heavy
I keep your voice close when I start to shake
I keep your memory burning like a candle
Refusing to let the darkness fully take
Because you taught me pain was not the life sentence
You taught me broken didn’t mean the end
You stood inside the storm and kept on singing
And somehow made the rest of us begin
So we’re burning every silence that surrounds us
Burning every wall that kept us down
We’re burning for the ones who came before us
Chester, we’re not letting go of what you found
We’ll burn the silence with everything you gave us
Scream your name until the whole sky breaks in two
We’ll burn the silence for the one still barely breathing
For every soul that found its strength in you
Chester, you were fire when we needed it the most
You were lightning when the world forgot our pain
We’ll burn the silence every night forever until the echo of your voice becomes the rain
Washing over every broken heart that’s bleeding, every hand that reached out in the dark and fell down
That your voice was still there, still burning, still breathing, still breathing
So I refuse it to be silent
Still the loudest thing around
Burn the silence
Burn the silence
You know what silence sounds like?
After Chester Bennington?
Wrong
It sounds completely wrong
Because he filled every quiet room with something that mattered
Something real
Something human
Something they said
You are not alone in this
So we burn the silence
Burn the silence
Burn the silence every day, every night, every night
Every time the dark is heavy, we turn it on, we turn it up, we let it burn for him, with him, with him, because of himBurn the silence
Chester Charles Bennington
The fire that never goes out
Never
