Lyrics

Eastern PA, where the brick walls held me in
Saw my words get twisted, learned to hold my tongue
No bright stage lights, just a truth I couldn't speak
Bit my tongue raw from the age of 10
Never spoke my mind, not 'til now, not again
This quiet song, it's my solace tonight
After years of holding back, finally feeling right
Still feel that chokehold from those Eastern nights
A quiet chord for every face in this dim light
Who knows that feeling of holding back their fight?
We find our echo, not in brawls, but in this quiet bar
In the honest truth of who we truly are
33 Now, in a Bloomington bar
Still ain't chasing charts, just playing my guitar
They ask 'bout the weather, I sing 'bout the fear
My guitar's no anthem, just a whisper they can hear
For the ones who felt trapped, now shedding a tear
No charts, just purpose, a voice for the unheard
Each quiet chord a promise, every whispered word
This quiet song, it's my solace tonight
After years of holding back, finally feeling right
Still feel that chokehold from those Eastern nights
A quiet chord for every face in this dim light
Who knows that feeling of holding back their fight?
We find our echo, not in brawls, but in this quiet bar
In the honest truth of who we truly are
