Quiet The Noise

(Verse 1) 
I don’t need to answer every thought
I don’t need to chase the ghosts I fought
I let them pass, I let them fade
Some battles don’t need to be engaged
I spent my life inside my head
Every word a war I never said
But silence isn’t empty now
It’s where I finally lay it down

(Pre-Chorus) 
I used to think the quiet meant
I was losing who I am
Now I know it’s just the sound
Of finally understanding it

(Chorus) 
I’m learning how to quiet the noise
I don’t need every doubt to have a voice
I’m not numb, I’m not destroyed
I just don’t live inside the void
I breathe in, I let it go
I don’t fight what I don’t know
I’m still here, but now I choose
To quiet the noise

(Verse 2) 
I don’t need the past to explain
Every scar, every ounce of pain
I can live without the fear
That peace means something’s wrong in here
I’m not perfect, I’m not whole
But I’m done trying to control
Every thought that crosses through
Some things aren’t mine to hold onto

(Pre-Chorus) 
I thought letting go was loss
But it feels like coming home
I don’t need to prove I’m strong
To finally feel like I belong

(Chorus) 
I’m learning how to quiet the noise
I don’t need every doubt to have a voice
I’m not numb, I’m not destroyed
I just don’t live inside the void
I breathe in, I let it go
I don’t fight what I don’t know
I’m still here, but now I choose
To quiet the noise

(Bridge) (Minimal / intimate)
There was a time I thought the pain
Was the only thing that kept me awake
Now I see it was the fear
Of what I’d hear if it disappeared

(Final Chorus) (Lift, not loud)
I’m learning how to quiet the noise
Still learning how to make that choice
I don’t need the chaos to survive
I don’t need the hurt to feel alive
I’m still breathing, still aware
But I don’t have to stay in there
I’m still me — I just refuse
To live inside the noise

(Outro) 
No war inside
Just space to breathe
