The Quiet Noise

[Intro] [Verse 1] There’s a hum beneath the floor Like something knocking at the door No one’s there when I look around But I can feel it in the sound Clock ticks but it don’t keep time Every second’s out of line I close my eyes to make it stop But that just turns the volume up [Pre-Chorus ] It don’t fade, it don’t slow It just waits for me to go [Chorus] It’s never quiet… it just gets loud Echoes buried in every thought I try to drown it, shut it down But silence screams when no one’s around It’s never quiet… it just gets louder in my head [Verse 2] Shadows move without a shape Faces I can’t separate Every voice I left behind Still got a place inside my mind Static crawling through my skin Like a war I’m trapped within I speak out loud to prove I’m here But I don’t recognize what I hear [Pre-Chorus] No escape, nowhere to go It follows everywhere I go [Chorus] It’s never quiet… it just gets loud Echoes buried in every thought I try to run but it tracks me down In every silence, every sound It’s never quiet… it just gets louder in my head [Bridge] Turn it off… just let me breathe Cut the wire inside of me If this is peace, I don’t want it If this is calm… then why’s it violent? [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] It’s never quiet… it just gets loud Every whisper turns to a shout I lost the line between then and now And I can’t tell what’s real somehow It’s never quiet… It just gets louder in my head [Outro – ringing tone returns, fades into static]
