Peace & Quiet

Me and my vices

Fill all the empty space

Take my devices

And watch me dissociate

I'm shutting down

Losing time

Free me from

My own mind

Give me something in the background

Turn it up and I'll relax now

I'm paralyzed

By the sound of silence

I need to drown it out

Cause I can't turn down

What I hear in private

Lull me to sleep

In an endless riot

Just give me sound

I need it loud enough

For some peace and quiet

Tape me together

Cause I can't afford to break

I swear I'll do better

But first let me medicate

I'm burning out

Losing friends

But better that

Than burdening them

I just need to be alone now

Let me sink into my phone now

I'm paralyzed

By the sound of silence

I need to drown it out

Cause I can't turn down

What I hear in private

Lull me to sleep

In an endless riot

Just give me sound

I need it loud enough

For some peace and quiet

I'm not alright

I've seen it on paper

Fight or flight

When I'm in no danger

I chase obsession and I numb all the pain

I learn no lessons while I'm running away

And I don't know why

Adrenaline soothes me

I swear I'm trying

So why aren't I moving?

I'm frozen till that thawing thrum

Give me pandemonium

I'm paralyzed

By the sound of silence

I need to drown it out

Cause I can't turn down

What I hear in private

Lull me to sleep

In an endless riot

Just give me sound

I need it loud enough

For some peace and quiet
