Eliza Carlson - In the Quiet

Oh, I have lived my life hiding inside these static lines
The chaos of a panicked mind
Oh, I am the violence between my lowest lows
And my highest highs
Oh, I have lived my life
Waiting for somebody to tell me it'll be all right
Only nineteen years old and still running out of time
I don't know who I am
But I am no friend of mine
And in the quiet, it's just me and my words
I don't have to play the role of everyone's favorite girl
And in the quiet, I am found
Oh, I love the silence now
And in the quiet, there's no need to pretend
I don't have to smile through it all over and over again
And in the quiet, I am found
Oh, I love the silence now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, I have wasted so much time
In this constant stream of noise
Filled my mind with the outside world
Can't hear my own voice
Oh, I wrapped myself around you and all our hollow promises
Now I'm left alone with my regrets
But at first you were a screaming wound
That bled freely in this silent room
But now the absence of you is a quiet ache
That doesn't hurt as much as I want it to
And in the quiet, it's just me and my words
I don't have to play the role of everyone's favorite girl
And in the quiet, I am found
Oh, I love the silence now
And in the quiet, there's no need to pretend
I don't have to smile through it all over and over again
And in the quiet, I am found
Oh, I love the silence now
Quiet, it's just me and my words
I don't have to play the role of everyone's favorite girl
And in the quiet, I am found
Oh, I love the silence now
And in the quiet, there's no need to pretend
I don't have to smile through it all over and over again
And in the quiet, I am found
Oh, I love the silence now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
