I've been livin' in a lot of shadows
Why won't you let me leave?
And I've been tryna find my way to the shallows

But the water's just too deep
Always somethin' inside of me
Keeps draggin' me down

I'm goin' deeper in the undertow
And it won't let go
All I need is silence


There's a thumpin' that's filled with violence
And he creeps in through the walls at night when

When I can't see, happy, frown, sad
Good or bad, all I need is silence


All I need is silence
Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence
You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me

I need silence



So tired of breathin' in numbers
Tryin' to stop my racin' heart
All I know is that I want it to stop

But I don't know where to start
You're always on my shoulder, but I won't
Try anymore

And conversations that begin to shout
Are you happy now?
All I need is silence


There's a thumpin' that's filled with violence
And he creeps in through the walls at night when

When I can't see, happy, frown, sad
Good or bad, all I need is silence


All I need is silence
Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence
You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me

I need silence

All I need is silence

Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence
You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me
I need silence


[Instrumental]


All I need is silence
Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence
You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me

I need silence

There's a thumpin' that's filled with violence

And he creeps in through the walls at night when
When I can't see, happy, frown, sad
Good or bad, all I need is silence


All I need is silence
Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence

You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me
I need silence


There's a thumpin' that's filled with violence
And he creeps in through the walls at night when
When I can't see, happy, frown, sad

Good or bad, all I need is silence

All I need is silence

Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence
You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me
I need silence
