Title: In the Quiet (After the Fight) Verse 1: Words like daggers, stuck between my teeth We both said things we never meant, can’t find relief I’m pacing circles in this room, Replay every scene My mind’s a riot, I can’t hear a thing (Sparse, short female vocals—almost whispered, tightly autotuned) Pre-Chorus: I run from the silence, I run from the truth I drown out Your whisper, Don’t want to face what’s real Chorus: In the quiet, when my mind is breaking I’m afraid to listen, afraid of what You’ll say So I fill the air with noise, Push Your voice away But God, I need the quiet To let go, to let You in I’m tired of fighting shadows Tired of who I’ve been Verse 2: Lying on the floor, Eyes wide in the dark Walls feel like strangers, I’m torn apart Scrolling through the wreckage, Blame and regret I want to hear You call me— But I’m not ready yet (Staccato, breathy lines, aching with honesty) Pre-Chorus: I run from the silence, I run from the truth I drown out Your whisper, Don’t want to face what’s real Chorus: In the quiet, when my mind is breaking I’m afraid to listen, afraid of what You’ll say So I fill the air with noise, Push Your voice away But God, I need the quiet To let go, to let You in I’m tired of fighting shadows Tired of who I’ve been Bridge: If I’m honest, I’m scared of surrender Scared of the pain that still lingers But if I don’t let the silence come I’ll never find the peace I’m after Final Chorus: In the quiet, when my mind is breaking Let me finally listen, let me hear You say— It’s okay to let go, It’s okay to rest God, meet me in the quiet Help me heal, help me confess I’m ready to be honest Ready for what’s next Outro: (Whispered, layered vocals) In the quiet, in the quiet— I’m letting go, letting You in [AlorawithDragon Music (c) 2026 All Rights Reserved] [ Artist’s Summary: “In the Quiet (After the Fight)” was written in the aftermath of conflict—when words have wounded, silence feels heavy, and my mind can’t let go of what’s been said. This song is about those restless moments when I get trapped in my own thoughts, resisting God’s gentle direction because I’m afraid to face the truth and my own pain. It’s a confession of how easy it is to drown out His voice with noise, and how hard it is to surrender to stillness and healing. This song is an honest plea to find real peace—not by numbing or running, but by letting God meet me in the quiet and lead me back to myself and to love.]
