Burning Up Quiet

Sparse, raw, solo violin and female vocals; close, dry room tone, Bowed drones under the verse, then sharp, furious stabs accent the hook, Energy grows from tight, controlled anger to a cracked, shouting climax, ending on a long, shaking violin note that hangs in the air, violin

[Verse 1] You took my kindness Wore it like a cheap perfume Left it in my bedroom Forgot it by noon You called it “crazy” Every time I called you out Now you’re asking why I’m loud Listen to me now [Chorus] I’m not crazy I’m just done (yeah) You lit the match Now watch it burn All your sweet talk Every word I’m not crazy I just learned You don’t get to call me wild While you’re out there running wild I’m not crazy I’m just done I’m just done [Verse 2] You loved me quiet Small enough to fit your pride Now my voice is twice your size Echoes down your lies You hate the mirror So you smash it Call it art Blame the glass for every scar But I know who you are [Chorus] I’m not crazy I’m just done (hey) You lit the match Now watch it burn All your sweet talk Every word I’m not crazy I just learned You don’t get to call me wild While you’re out there running wild I’m not crazy I’m just done I’m just done [Bridge] May your phone stay dry and silent (so silent) May your name taste like a ghost May you hear my laughing sirens Every time you brag and boast [Chorus] I’m not crazy I’m just done You lit the match Now watch it burn All your sweet talk Every word I’m not crazy I just learned You don’t get to call me wild While you’re out there running wild I’m not crazy I’m just done I’m just done [Outro] I’m not crazy You’re just gone [violin holds one broken Shaking note]
