[Intro – whisper / distant vocoder] Turn it down Turn it down Until there's nothing [Verse 1] I locked the daylight out Left the voices at the door Every sound was asking For a little more No messages No names No hands against the glass I watch the hours lose their shape And let the whole world pass [Pre-Chorus] I need a room Inside a room Inside my head Where nothing moves And nothing wants And nothing needs me yet [Chorus] Leave me in the dead air Where nobody can reach I'm looking for the silence Underneath the noise in me Dead air Dead air If I disappear tonight Don't pull me back outside I'm not running from the world I'm trying to make it quiet [Drop – fragmented vocals] QUI-QUI-QUIET CUT THE SIGNAL NO VOICES NO STATIC LET IT LET IT LET IT FADE [Verse 2] The walls don't ask me questions The ceiling doesn't stare I count the little particles Suspended in the air But even with the lights off Even with the door locked tight There's something in the silence That keeps moving through the night [Pre-Chorus] I went so far To find a place Where everything would cease But silence has a heartbeat And it sounds A lot like me [Chorus] Leave me in the dead air Where nobody can reach I'm looking for the silence Underneath the noise in me Dead air Dead air If I disappear tonight Don't pull me back outside I'm not running from the world I'm trying to make it quiet [Bridge – vocoder, almost emotionless] No city No voices No windows No choices Still I hear it Still I hear it Maybe peace Was never empty [Build] Cut the lights Cut the sound Cut the signal Still around Cut the lights Cut the sound Why is it Still So Loud? [Final Drop] QUIET QUI-QUI-QUIET I CAN HEAR MYSELF [Outro – intimate female vocal] I wanted silence I found myself there Maybe that's enough For now.
