The quiet one

Mr

O S B

​[Verse 1]

​The city breathes and pulls me in

A constant race I'll never win

They tell me where I should belong

They say my rhythm's somehow wrong.

Every corner whispers to me

A perfect life I'm meant to be

But my heart is a wild and empty space

Looking for its own resting place.

​[Pre-Chorus]

​I'm standing here in the pouring rain

Counting every silent pain

I'm not lost, I'm just undefined

A different shape for a different kind.

​[Chorus]

​I'm not a square in a perfect grid

I'm not the secret that's meant to be hid

I'm the one who stands apart, the fire in the dark

This is my life, my only work of art.

'Cause the only rule that I must break

Is the one they made for my own sake.

​[Verse 2]

​They say the path is straight and clear

You follow it to lose your fear

But I see lines I can't connect

And faces I can't respect.

They want a role, they want a part

But they don't see the broken heart

That needs a sky, a chance to bloom

Away from every silent room.

​[Pre-Chorus]

​I'm standing here in the pouring rain

Counting every silent pain

I'm not lost, I'm just undefined

A different shape for a different kind.

​[Chorus]

​I'm not a square in a perfect grid

I'm not the secret that's meant to be hid

I'm the one who stands apart, the fire in the dark

This is my life, my only work of art.

'Cause the only rule that I must break

Is the one they made for my own sake.

​[Bridge]

​The world is spinning out of time

And all their logic is a crime

I found my compass in my soul

Now I'm finally, truly whole.

​[Outro]

​Just me and the open air

A different path, a different prayer

And you don't have to fit

You just have to live.
