[Verse 1 - tired intimate whisper, almost spoken, low contralto] My head's a house with all the lights left on Every room is talking, all at once Rewinding tapes I never meant to keep Your laugh, my fault, the things I didn't say in sleep [Pre-Chorus - building tension] It's a hive, it's a wire, it's a second-hand dream Spinning out in colors I don't wanna see [Chorus - tired, angry release, heavy and slow] I want it quiet Not peaceful, just gone I want the attic emptied No boxes, no names on Wipe the chalk from the walls of my skull Bleach the honey, kill the buzz, leave it null I want it quiet I want nothing at all [Verse 2 - psychedelic, trippy] I built a church out of static and doubt Praying to the noise to just burn itself out Every memory's a ghost with my own face Following me room to room, taking up space [Pre-Chorus 2 - heavier] I'm tired of carrying every version of me Tired of being the keeper of the museum [Chorus - full contralto, raw and cracked] I want it quiet Not healed, just clean Take the needle off the record Let the silence scream Unwrite every letter I carved in my bones Untie every knot that I tied on my own I want it quiet I want nothing at all [Bridge - psychedelic soul breakdown, whisper to scream, echo FX] Erase the film, erase the skin, erase the scene Pour the acid rain on the silver screen I don't want forgiveness, I don't want truth I just want the switch where I cut off you And me... and everything in between [Outro - exhausted, fading to silence] Leave the house empty Leave the altar bare Let no echo live here Not even air Just quiet Just nothing at all
