The Quiet Kind

Welcome in
My dear friends
This is me
Or at least it could be

Take a seat
But please don't speak
It might rattle all the walls
Or the echoes in the halls
Might shake the dust free
Now all of the silence is rather unsettling

This room could eat me alive
If I wasn't so sure Love comes from the outside
Waking with the sunrise
Despite the drawn blinds

I run away sometimes
To the back of the closet in the back of my mind
Hiding from the sunshine
Becoming the quiet kind

Walk around
A night on the town
Shows me why
I ought to hide

The neon lights
Are far too bright
Now I think I'm going blind
Yes, my retinas are burning
And my heart pounds at the sights
How did you convince me to go outside

This room could eat me alive
If I wasn't so sure Love comes from the outside
Waking with the sunrise
Despite the drawn blinds

I run away sometimes
To the back of the closet in the back of my mind
Hiding from the sunshine
Becoming the quiet kind

Go away and just forget
I know I will regret it
The world just keeps on burning, shouting
Fire, fire

Now the room is smoking
And I can't keep from choking
I can hear the people shouting
Fire, fire

Now my vision's fading
But I'll just keep on waiting
Someone will come save me from the
Fire, fire

Oh no, I'm alone
I'm the only one home
Now I am the one shouting
Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire

This world could eat me alive
But the only way to know is by making my way outside
That's not a sunrise
Everybody's setting all these
Fires, fires

I run away sometimes
Far away from the shouting and the things that burn my eyes
Running from the end times
Running away from the
Fires, fires

Fire, fire
Fire, fire
Fire, fire
Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire
