Walls and Silence
Nahal Watts
male vocals
emotional
pop
metal
Big cinematic pop duet with female and male vocals. Start with sparse piano and distant pads
female vocal very close and vulnerable. Low strings enter halfway through Verse 1; pre-chorus swells with toms and rising synths. Chorus hits huge with layered harmonies
wide percussion
and soaring strings. Middle bridge drops back to near-acapella duet over soft piano before exploding into a final
anthemic chorus with stacked gang vocals and long reverb tail.

[Verse 1 (Female)]
They don’t hear the scream when it’s born from pain
They turn their eyes from the pouring rain
Either they’re blind
Or their hearts are stone
Watching the fire consume our home
They answer our cries with walls and steel
Lock every door on the way we feel
Pull every ladder from shaking hands
Leave us to drown in their perfect plans
[Pre-Chorus (Female)]
But I still see a flicker in the dark (oh)
A trembling match
A hidden spark
If this is how the story’s told
I’ll tear the page and write it bold
[Chorus (Both)]
I won’t be buried under walls and silence
I won’t be broken by their quiet violence
If they won’t listen when our voices shake
We’ll turn this echo into an earthquake
From every whisper that they tried to hide
We’ll build a chorus that can split the sky
I won’t be buried under walls and silence
I’m breaking out
I’m breaking out tonight
[Verse 2 (Male)]
They don’t see the bruise when it blooms like storm
They say
“You’re fine
This is how we’re born”
They paint their comfort over every crack
Call it the future as they hold us back
They measure our worth by what we take
Then blame our hands when their systems break
But I’ve been counting every quiet tear
Turning my shame into atmosphere
[Pre-Chorus (Male)]
‘Cause I still hear a rhythm through the smoke
A stubborn drum in a shattered throat
If this is how the verdict reads
I’ll carve my freedom in the creeds
[Chorus (Both)]
I won’t be buried under walls and silence
I won’t be broken by their quiet violence
If they won’t listen when our voices shake
We’ll turn this echo into an earthquake
From every whisper that they tried to hide
We’ll build a chorus that can split the sky
I won’t be buried under walls and silence
I’m breaking out
I’m breaking out tonight
[Bridge (Female & Male)]
[soft piano
Near-whispered duet]
(Female) You take my hand when the night leans in
(Male) I’ll hold it steady when the fears begin
(Female) If they erase us
Write me in your skin
(Male) I’ll be the proof that you still win
(Female) When every door feels locked and barred
(Male) When every promise comes down hard
(Both) We’ll be the fault line they can’t chart
A million cracks in a single heart (oh)
[Chorus (Both)]
[full band crashes back in]
I won’t be buried under walls and silence
I won’t be broken by their quiet violence
If they won’t listen when our voices shake
We’ll turn this echo into an earthquake
From every whisper that they tried to hide
We’ll build a chorus that can split the sky
I won’t be buried under walls and silence
I’m breaking out
I’m breaking out tonight
[Outro (Both)]
(Female) They don’t hear the scream
But we’re still here
(Male) Louder than the weight of all these years
(Both) If this is all we get in this one life
We’ll spend it shattering their quiet
Walls and silence
Walls and silence (hey)
We’re breaking out
We’re breaking out tonight
They don’t hear the scream when it’s born from pain
They turn their eyes from the pouring rain
Either they’re blind
Or their hearts are stone
Watching the fire consume our home
They answer our cries with walls and steel
Lock every door on the way we feel
Pull every ladder from shaking hands
Leave us to drown in their perfect plans
[Pre-Chorus (Female)]
But I still see a flicker in the dark (oh)
A trembling match
A hidden spark
If this is how the story’s told
I’ll tear the page and write it bold
[Chorus (Both)]
I won’t be buried under walls and silence
I won’t be broken by their quiet violence
If they won’t listen when our voices shake
We’ll turn this echo into an earthquake
From every whisper that they tried to hide
We’ll build a chorus that can split the sky
I won’t be buried under walls and silence
I’m breaking out
I’m breaking out tonight
[Verse 2 (Male)]
