Lyrics:
I don’t mind the quiet
It’s louder when I’m seen
Faces move too quickly
And I forget how to be
There’s a comfort in the distance
In choosing not to speak
Alone is not the absence
It’s where I feel complete
I’m safe here
Where the walls don’t watch
Where I don’t rehearse my breathing
Or shrink to fit the thought
I’m safe here
Let the world go wide
Let the crowd keep spinning
I’ll stay where the echoes die
Small talk scrapes the surface
Like fingers on cold glass
Everyone performing
No one ever asks
So I turn down the volume
And drift into the hum
The room becomes a rhythm
Where I don’t have to run
I’m safe here
Where the walls don’t watch
Where I don’t rehearse my breathing
Or shrink to fit the thought
I’m safe here
Let the world go wide
Let the crowd keep spinning
I’ll stay where the echoes die
Don’t mistake the space I keep
For sadness or retreat
This is where I recognize
Myself beneath the heat
I’m safe here
Where I don’t perform
Where the pressure fades
And the stillness forms
I’m safe here
Not broken, not shy
Just someone who feels better
When the world walks by
