Quiet Drownin´ out the echoes Look into my eyes and find the window to my soul And someday you´ll know, what\s happening inside
Is it, is it a disguise? Skin deep lies Will I be alright? When a part of me died
Shut the door and close all the curtains Cut the lights, in case there´s someone lurkin´ Kill the noise, shower with detergent Get the bleach and pour it on the surface To numb the nerves, take a shot of Bourbon With no ice so you can feel your chest burnin´ I can feel my chest burnin´ And I think it´s workin´ Take a deep breath Life´s about to change Say a prayer Meditate and burn some sage
Prepare yourself for the next stage Keep your story simple, this could keep you out the cage He´s gonna hurt ya like he always hurt ya Technically, if it was self defence it´s not murder Guess nobody heard ya Think nobody heard ya Rest in peace to yet another burden

Getting it, they deserved it Trust me they deserved it Tell me, was it worth it? I did it on purpose

Ten thou´ That´s what you need, proceed When it gets hard, just breathe Take a breath and breathe Made in his image, So the vision say G-O-D Said lefatse le hours So I´m pickin´ my flowers Never livin in doubt Gotta manoeuvre, figure the route Gotta plan how you making it out Planting my seeds when they sprout Manifest, figure it out Don´t stress, figure it out
