Composed by Ry Jones, written by Madison, Voiceless is another song about Madison’s health. In June of 2019 Madison was told that she required a surgery that could drastically affect her voice, a surgery she was highly apprehensive about due to past bullying over her voice. Voiceless is a song that...
[Verse 1]
I've heard just about every name and taunt that's in the book
I've found that it's worse when they don't even care to look
At you, when they act like you're not even there its
So cruel, you feel invisible
[Pre-Chorus]
"I'm sorry did you say something?" those words used to take my power
"Why you always whispering? You need to speak up louder"
I thought it didn't hurt no more
But here I go again I'm
At a crossroads, at your door, I'm screaming out "no more!"
[Chorus]
I was voiceless my own mother couldn't hear me
I'd take a nap and I'd wake up feeling like I could speak clearly
And the bullies would come and they'd ask me why I
Sound like I'm about to die
With my voice under attack again
I'm asking you, my friend
Are you listening now?
[Verse 2]
I bet you'd still pretend like you can't even hear me
I've met some shitty people but you are still clearly
The worst, you made my whole damn childhood a nightmare it's
Absurd, I'm feeling angered
[Pre-Chorus]
"I'm sorry did you say something?" those words used to take my power
"Why you always whispering? You need to speak up louder"
I thought it didn't hurt no more
But here I go again I'm
At a crossroads, at your door, I'm screaming out "no more!"
[Chorus]
I was voiceless my own mother couldn't hear me
I'd take a nap and I'd wake up feeling like I could speak clearly
And the bullies would come and they'd ask me why I
Sound like I'm about to die
With my voice under attack again
I'm asking you, my friend
Are you listening now?
Are you listening now?
[Bridge]
Cos I don't think I can do this
I've never had to choose this
Will I once again be voiceless?
And is this my final song?
[Verse 3]
Cos I was voiceless through most of childhood
Bullies would come and tease me and I'd make every excuse I could
I was hopeless till I magically got well
But now you've come and told me that it's just a broken spell
Now I'm speechless I mean it, how can I get through this?
I'm useless if I'm voiceless
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Cos I was voiceless my own mother couldn't hear me
I'd take a nap and I'd wake up feeling like I could speak clearly
And the bullies would come and they'd ask me why I
Sound like I'm about to die
With my voice under attack again
I'm asking you, my friend
Are you listening now?
Are you listening now?
[Outro]
You're gonna hear me now
