[Intro]
Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
[Verse 1: AndrewClay]
I like it quiet, silent
Isolated, in confinement
Me, myself, and I is who I like to spend my time with
My conscience is the only constant puns medulla oblongata mind
I think I kinda lost it tryna find my own nirvana
Introverted, so passive, I lack assertiveness
Prefer to be perched upon this sorta mattress writin' verses
No confidence, more nervous on the surface than appears
To my peers and social settings 'till I've premiered this false veneer
I'm alone, at home, it's where my mind is finally clear
This quiet calming silence
My asylum that I pioneer
[Bridge: AndrewClay]
Keep it quiet
Keep- Keep it quiet
Keep it quiet
Keep- Keep it quiet
[Verse 2: AndrewClay]
Sometimes I sit awake, mind racing from this shit I take
To have a breath is a blessing despite the pressures and stresses life can be precious
I try to remember that on this quiet night that will come and pass
And I slide away right through the cracks
And the moonlit day goes grey to black
[Interlude]
Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar
Quiet nights of quiet stars (Astral)
Quiet chords from my guitar
[Verse 3: Samsa]
I'm introverted
My whole damn life I'd have been deserted, disconcerted
Empty, no damn risk averted
Feel like a Discman with no disc inserted
Fiscal burdens had me suffocated in a cloud of black
A shroud of lack
But I fought through and I'm proud of that
But lately, something's allowed them back
My doubts and fears are now severe
And every day feels like a thousand years
And every night feels like a thousand more
And I don't even know what I'm drowning for
But it's loud and clear, I must confess
I'm pretty damn sure that I'm just depressed
Cause how the fuck else could a man with a functioning brain be deranged and be such a mess
As a kid, I'd just stay silent
While my thoughts and my dreams raised violent
Nowadays there's a void in my life
And I put a mask on and I stay fake smilin'
Fake smile but I die inside
Feels like cyanide when I try and write
And I ignite like dynamite but silent
And stay alight in the quiet night
[Outro]
Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
