Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Clock says 3 Ceiling fan keeps spinning All these little thoughts Turn to storms Keep winning I replay what I said Every word Every breath Every sigh Like a movie on loop I’m stuck watching myself live a lie [Chorus] It’s a quiet storm in my head Thunder in a whisper Tearing up my bed I keep drowning in a glass of water Can’t find the shore Can’t swim any farther If I could turn down the noise instead Turn down the noise instead But it’s a quiet storm A quiet storm in my head [Verse 2] Phone lights up I just watch it fade Every little promise Feels like it was overpaid Smile in the mirror Looks borrowed Doesn’t fit my face I keep losing my heart In the smallest Strangest place [Chorus] It’s a quiet storm in my head Thunder in a whisper Tearing up my bed I keep drowning in a glass of water Can’t find the shore Can’t swim any farther If I could turn down the noise instead Turn down the noise instead But it’s a quiet storm A quiet storm in my head [Bridge] Tell me Is there a light That doesn’t burn my eyes A little soft kindness That believes my lies (oh) I’ve been praying for a day Where I don’t feel this way Where my mind lets go Lets go for a change [Chorus] It’s a quiet storm in my head Thunder in a whisper Tearing up my bed I keep drowning in a glass of water Can’t find the shore Can’t swim any farther If I could turn down the noise instead Turn down the noise instead But it’s a quiet storm Yeah It’s a quiet storm Just a quiet storm in my head (mmm)

Slow-burning blues-soul ballad in 6/8, male vocals with smoky low register and aching falsetto lifts. Reverb-soaked electric guitar and Rhodes piano trade flickers under a warm, round bass. Drums stay sparse with brushed snare and soft kick, opening in the choruses with organ swells and layered harmony stacks. Final chorus leans into call-and-response ad-libs and a gritty, held-out last note that fades into lingering guitar tremolo., soul, r&b, deep, blues
