Waste of Breath: Song Lyrics About Ignoring Haters, Unshakable Confidence, and Standing Your Ground

Waste of Breath by Thorne Empire

By Thorne EmpirePublished about an hour ago • 2 min read

Yo, y’all talking loud, but your words don’t mean a thing,

Like shadows in the dark, you ain’t even in the ring.


You are a glitch in the static, a flicker, a fade,

Tryna throw dirt, but you are just a temporary grade.

I’m a storm in the making, a force you can’t cage,

You are a paper thin page, I’m a god damn manuscript.


You talk tough, but you ain’t built for the war,

Just a memory fading like the tide on the shore.

Your jealousy loud, but your impact is weak,

You are a trend that will vanish by the end of the week.

Like ice in the sun, you melt when you heat,

I’m a diamond in the rough, you just obsolete.


You are just a whisper in the wind, a flicker in the night,

Talk all you want, but you ain’t got my drive.

I’m steady, I’m solid, I’m built to last,

You are just a ghost, a shadow that will pass.

You are just a ghost, a shadow that will pass.


I’m the hunger you feel when your belly’s gone dry,

You are a spark in the dark, but I’m the whole damn sky.

Your words fall flat like a beat with no soul,

I’m the anthem they sing when they are ready to roll.


You are just a temporary echo, a shadow of the weak,

My words are the anthem that many will hear,

I will outlast you like stone, while you crumble to dust,

So don’t bother with the hate, jealousy's weak.


You are just a whisper in the wind, a flicker in the night,

Talk all you want, but you ain’t got my drive.

I’m steady, I’m solid, I’m built to last,

You are just a ghost, a shadow that will pass.

You are just a ghost, a shadow that will pass.


You are just a whisper in the wind, a flicker in the night,

Talk all you want, but you ain’t got my drive.

I’m steady, I’m solid, I’m built to last,

You are just a ghost, a shadow that will pass.

You are just a ghost, a shadow that will pass.
