Quiet

You crawl in slow when the world gets mean

Slip your fingers through my bloodstream

Don’t say love, just pull me close

I don’t ask what this costs

You taste like sleep I never get

Like forgetting what I almost did

Every night I let you win

‘Cause you’re better than the thoughts I’m in

Pre-Chorus

You don’t save me, you sedate

Press your mouth where I break

I feel you hit, I feel you fade

God, I love the way you take

Chorus

Lay me down where I don’t feel

Make it hurt but make it real

I don’t care if I decay

Just keep the noise away

You don’t heal me, you restrain

Put your quiet in my veins

I’d rather drown inside your touch

Than feel this world a little too much

Verse 2

You whisper “stay” like it’s a sin

Like I’m wrong for letting you in

But you hold me like a secret

Like I’m yours and I can keep it

You blur the edge of who I am

Turn my future into sand

I know you’ll leave me hollowed out

Still I crave you when I’m loud

Pre-Chorus

You don’t fix me, you erase

Leave your mark across my face

Every time I swear I’ll change

You pull me back with velvet chains

Chorus

Lay me down where I don’t feel

Make it hurt but make it real

I don’t care if I decay

Just keep the noise away

You don’t heal me, you restrain

Put your quiet in my veins

I’d rather drown inside your touch

Than feel this world a little too much

Bridge (low, breathy)

If I wake up, don’t let me think

Hold me under, let me sink

I’ll trade tomorrow, I’ll trade my name

Just keep me numb, just keep me safe

Final Chorus

Lay me down where I disappear

Make me small, keep me here

I don’t need truth, I don’t need faith

Just your silence, just your weight

You don’t love me, that’s okay

You’re the only thing that stays

I’d rather rot inside your touch

Than feel this world a little too much

Outro

Quiet in my veins

Quiet in my veins
