[Verse 1] Bass still shaking in my chest 2AM lights still flashing behind my eyes The party didn't fix me But the music lied Said it would Said it would Headphones off But the beat won't stop Playing in my skull Like a ghost venue Every room I walk into Still sounds crowded Even when it's just me And the driver Who keeps glancing in the mirror Like I might break I might break [Pre-Chorus] Loud, loud, loud Everything was so loud Quieter now Quieter now The city's thinning out [Chorus] The come-down is the real song The silence is where I live Not the peak Not the rush Not the 2AM version of me Who pretends the volume Is the same as feeling Strip it back Strip it back Each layer falls And I'm still here Still here Still here The quiet is the truth The noise was just the costume [Verse 2] Three layers gone The bass drops out Just my heartbeat now Uneven and honest The party was a prescription I wrote myself Take twice nightly Ignore the side effects Side effects include: Waking up in the same body With the same emptiness And louder ears The driver turns the radio down for me He doesn't know I can still hear it The ghost show Playing in my head Crowd cheering For nobody [Bridge] Here's where the song actually starts Not at the beginning Here In the back of a car Going home Home What a word For where I'm going The music in my head fades out Track by track by track Until it's just Beat Beat Beat Mine Only mine And it's not fast And it's not exciting And it's the most honest sound I've ever heard [Outro] Silence Finally Here I am No lights No bass No crowd Just me Just me This is where I live This is where I live The noise was the visit This is the address Quiet Quiet Home
