Quiet Lyrics & Tabs by Matilda the Musical Original Cast
Quiet
guitar chords lyrics
Have you ever wondered,
well I have,
About how when I say say red,
For example there's no way of knowing if red,
means the same thing in your head,
As red means in my head when someone says red.
And how if we are traveling at
almost the speed of light,
And we're holding a light,
That light would still travel away from us,
At the full speed of light,
which seems right in our way,
but I'm trying to say,
I'm not sure,
but I wonder if inside my head,
but I'm trying to say,
I'm not sure,
but I wonder if inside my head,
I'm not just a bit different from some of my friends,
These answers that come into my mind unbidden,
These stories delivered to me fully written.
And when every shouts they seem to like shouting
The noise in my head is incredibly loud.
And I just wish they'd stop,
my dad and my mum.
And the tele and stories would stop for just once.
And I'm sorry,
I'm not quite explaining it right,
but this noise becomes anger and the anger is light,
And its burning inside me would usually fade.
But it isn't today!
And the heat and the shouting.
And my heart is pounding.
And my eyes are burning
And suddenly everything, everything is...
Quiet
Like silence, but not really silent.
Just that still sort of quiet.
Like the sound of a page being turned in a book.
Or a pause in a walk in the woods.
Quiet
Like silence, but not really silent.
Just that nice kind of quiet.
Like the sound when you lie upside down in your bed.
Just the sound of your heart in your head.
And though the people around me.
Their mouths are still moving.
The words they are forming.
Cannot reach me anymore!
And it is quiet.
And I am warm.
Like I've sailed.
Into the eye of the storm.
