[Intro] It’s weird… When nothing’s wrong, I start looking for something. [Chorus] Silence feels loud When I finally sit down No noise, no crowd Still can’t shut it out I got peace right now But my head want a fight Silence feels loud Yeah, silence feels loud [Verse 1] I used to live in the mess like it made me safe Always something on fire so I didn’t have to think Always another problem, another call, another rush So I could blame the day instead of facing what’s up Now it’s calm and I don’t know what to do with it I keep reaching for stress like it’s something to hold I’ll start a dumb argument just to feel a pulse Then act surprised when I’m mad and alone I’ll turn the TV on, then I mute it Scroll for ten minutes, then I hate it Open a drink, take two sips, then I leave it I’m not even thirsty—I’m just trying to escape this And I know that sounds crazy, but it’s real Some people don’t miss the pain, they miss the noise They miss the excuse, they miss the distraction So they don’t gotta sit with their own damn voice [Chorus] Silence feels loud When I finally sit down No noise, no crowd Still can’t shut it out I got peace right now But my head want a fight Silence feels loud Yeah, silence feels loud [Verse 2] I’ve been good at surviving, not good at resting Good at handling pressure, bad at accepting That I can breathe without earning it first That I can be okay without proving I’m hurt So I stay busy on purpose, I stay wired I’ll make a list, then I’ll add more I’ll clean something that’s already clean Just so I don’t have to feel what I’m mad for (brief pocket change) And the crazy part—nobody did nothing to me today No texts, no drama, no reason to snap It’s just my brain acting like quiet is danger Like calm is a trap (back) So I’m learning slow, like a bad habit I’m learning that peace don’t come with a rush That I don’t need to fill every second Just ‘cause I’m scared of what comes up [Bridge] If I sit here long enough, it gets better. I hate that. [Final Chorus] Silence feels loud When I finally sit down No noise, no crowd Still can’t shut it out I got peace right now But my head want a fight Silence feels loud Yeah, silence feels loud [Outro] Yeah… I’m learning.
