Quieter Down Here

I'm still breathing, six feet down

In the ocean, and in this ghostly town

I'm too honest, I'm too mean

Seeing black and white, and never in between

It's quieter down here

Protected by the roots that never disappear

I lost myself before

But maybe this time I'll know what I'm looking for

What's important, who's to say

Whatever's left behind from what you toss away

Breathing heavy, lying still

It'll all slow down if you just take another pill

It's quieter up here

Between the headlights and protected by the deer

I lost myself before

But maybe this time I'll know what I'm looking for

Oh, Narcissus is calling out to only his reflection

It's getting hard to see the world beyond the vast neglection

Crying when I'm incapable is just a force of habit

Demanding the entire world when I already have it

It's quieter in here

I yelled in silence so as not to break the mirror

I lost myself before

But maybe next time I'll know what I'm looking for
