[Verse 1]
I hear the call in my chest
Like a room that never rests
Every word cuts through my skin
And I fold myself back in
Hands over ears, but it stays
Pounding through the walls of me
I don’t need a perfect cure
I just need one quiet place
[Pre-Chorus]
No more shouting in my head
No more spinning in the red
If I break, then let me breathe
If I stay, just let me be
[Chorus]
I want it quiet, quiet
I want the noise to die in me
I want it quiet, quiet
Just let the dark go soft and leave
Hear the silence, hear the silence
Hold me where the hurt can’t speak
I want it quiet, quiet
I want some peace for me
[Verse 2]
I’ve been holding up the sky
While it cracks above my eyes
Every maybe, every should
Turns the air to broken wood
I don’t need another fight
I don’t need another sign
I just want the jagged edge
To loosen from my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
No more shouting in my head
No more spinning in the red
If I break, then let me breathe
If I stay, just let me be
[Chorus]
I want it quiet, quiet
I want the noise to die in me
I want it quiet, quiet
Just let the dark go soft and leave
Hear the silence, hear the silence
Hold me where the hurt can’t speak
I want it quiet, quiet
I want some peace for me
[Bridge]
If I say I’m not okay
Don’t look away
Stay
If I shake, if I fall
Catch me before I disappear
[Final Chorus]
I want it quiet, quiet
I want the noise to die in me
I want it quiet, quiet
Just let the dark go soft and leave
Hear the silence, hear the silence
Hold me where the hurt can’t speak
I want it quiet, quiet
I want some peace for me
(Hold me close)
(Help me breathe)
