The Silent Exit

I saw the fire burning in the center of the room You called my name like I was meant to sweep away the gloom But the shadows that you carry aren't a burden I should hold I'm tired of the stories that have already been told You like to watch the sparks fly and the bridges start to bend Waiting for a hero or a message I won't send I'm stepping off the stage before the curtain starts to fall I'd rather have my silence than be answering your call It's the smartest move I'll ever make Walking from the chaos and the hearts you like to break Not every battle is a war I have to win I'm closing every door that you keep trying to push in Protecting every piece of the peace I finally found I'm rising up above while you are shaking on the ground Let the fools play their games in the dark and the gray I'm making my escape and I'm walking away I used to think that loyalty meant staying through the rain But some people only love you when you're filtering their pain You're a hurricane of drama and a tempest of the mind And I'm leaving every bitter word and broken glass behind My energy is sacred and my time is not a toy You're looking for a target that you're aiming to destroy But I've moved beyond the perimeter and out of your sight I'm choosing my own colors in a different kind of light It's the smartest move I'll ever make Walking from the chaos and the hearts you like to break Not every battle is a war I have to win I'm closing every door that you keep trying to push in Protecting every piece of the peace I finally found I'm rising up above while you are shaking on the ground Let the fools play their games in the dark and the gray I'm making my escape and I'm walking away No more cleaning up the messes that you leave upon the floor I don't live behind the shadow of your ego anymore It’s a quiet kind of power just to turn and walk the path Without a single witness and without a single wrath It's the smartest move I'll ever make Walking from the chaos and the hearts you like to break Not every battle is a war I have to win I'm closing every door that you keep trying to push in Protecting every piece of the peace I finally found I'm rising up above while you are shaking on the ground Let the fools play their games in the dark and the gray I'm making my escape and I'm walking away
