[Intro – whispered, fading in] Life is a struggle… And sometimes you just need… A moment of calm… a silence… some peace… [Verse 1 – rhythmic, fast wording] Chaos in my head, as the city won’t sleep I’m caught in the static — pressure running so deep To hold, to breathe, to find air to release I need a shelter, with a circle of peace [Chorus – melodic, soaring voice ending each line in fast wording] Like calm waters — in the middle of a stormy sea Total silence — in the middle of a roaring crowd A circle of peace — in the middle of a raging war Just a while of quiet — that’s what I need [Verse 2 – rhythmic, fast wording] Partners and lovers, it’s sometimes hard to divide Touching is simple, but love has its own sides We drown in the noise, and forget what we crave Desire’s a fire — don’t bury the flame [Chorus – melodic, soaring voice ending each line in fast wording] Like calm waters — in the middle of a stormy sea Total silence — in the middle of a roaring crowd A circle of peace — in the middle of a raging war Just a while of quiet — that’s what I need [Bridge – intensifying, voice breaking] I can’t be the one you always want me to be Unless I carve out some time for me Step back, breathe in, find my solid ground Then I’ll return, when the calm I need is found [Instrumental – breakbeat build, acid squeaks, bass drops] [Chorus – layered vocals, call & response] Like calm waters — in the middle of a stormy sea (calm waters, stormy sea) Total silence — in the middle of a roaring crowd (silence, roaring crowd) A circle of peace — in the middle of a raging war (circle of peace, raging war) Just a while of quiet — that’s what I need (that’s what I need) [Outro – whispered, fading out] That’s what I need… Calm… silence… peace…
