Quiet like this II

Smoke in the room

Ash fall slow

Streetlight flicker like it

Know what I know

Clock drag teeth

Let the minutes scrape

Every quiet choice I made

Put steel in my shape

Feet on the floor

Bass in my spine

I don’t fill the silence

I let it sharpen my mind

They chase noise for proof

I breathe between

Peace don’t glitter

It stay mean

⸻

Low voice growl when the night lean in

High note rise when I break my skin

Still calm, still raw, still solid

Quiet don’t mean hollow

⸻

I’m lonely

But I like it quiet like this

Yeah, I like it

No echo but my own heartbeat

Slow pulse in an empty room

I’m lonely

But I like it quiet like this

Yeah, I like it

Let the silence hit like truth

⸻

Words come blunt

Like a knuckle split

Truth don’t beg

It just sit in it

I don’t chase love

I let it test me

If it’s real, it’ll rest with me

Eyes half shut

Let the low end bite

Every breath line up

With the fight inside

I ain’t numb, nah

I chose control

Built my peace outta pressure

Now it hold

⸻

Low tone ground me to the floor

High tone crack, I feel more

Stillness loud when I stay close

This space the one I chose

⸻

I’m lonely

But I like it quiet like this

Yeah, I like it

No echo but my own heartbeat

Slow breath, nothing to prove

I’m lonely

But I like it quiet like this

Yeah, I like it

Let the silence teach the truth

⸻

(Guitars ring darker, vocal close)

No crowd, no crown, just will

Hold the note…

Let it cut
