Intro:

Yeah

Instrumental break:

Everyone know where to go,

they know what to say.

I just feel like

I’m walking through a heavy fog

every single day.

I don't really get angry,

and I don't really get sad.

I just get…

tired.

It feels like my battery is always flashing red,

No matter how long I stay in bed.

I learned a long time ago

that if you don't ask for help,

You don't have to worry about being told "no."

Chorus:

I’m just trying to turn down the volume.

The world is screaming,

and it’s way too loud.

I drink a little

just to slow it all down,

Just to find a quiet place inside the crowd.

You think I’m wild,

you think I’m looking for a fight?

I’m just looking for a way to make it through the night.

I sit in the corner while the party gets bright.

My chest feels heavy,

like a tightened kite.

I smile when you talk,

but I didn't hear a word,

I’m listening to the panic

that’s starting to stir.

People think

I’m arrogant or maybe just rude,

But I’m fighting a war in a terrible mood.

I reach for the bottle not to have a good time,

But to stop the thoughts from racing in a line.

Bridge:

It’s hard to trust a hand

when you’re used to a fist.

It’s hard to remember

the things that you missed.

I built a tall wall

just to keep myself safe,

Now I’m stuck behind it

in this lonely space.

I want to reach out,

I want to be real,

But I forgot

how to handle the things that I feel.

Chorus:

I’m just trying to turn down the volume.

The world is screaming,

and it’s way too loud.

I drink a little

just to slow it all down,

Just to find a quiet place

inside the crowd.

You think I’m wild,

you think I’m looking for a fight?

I’m just looking for a way

to make it through the night.

Outro:

So I’ll sit here quietly

and wait for the calm.

Maybe tomorrow the noise will be gone.

But for right now,

the silence is king.

And I don't have to worry

about a single thing.

Just quiet.
