Quiet Riot

Verse 1

Wall hangs heavy with a frame of black

I sit alone and I don't look back

Halfway to midnight on a Tuesday night

Staring at shadows in the low pale light

Pre-Chorus

It is a quiet riot in my head

Sleeping wakeful on a single bed

Thinking of the things I never said

Turning every silver thought to lead

Chorus

This house is a shell and I am the heart

Keeping all my secrets in the dark

Just me and the hum of the electric wall

Waiting for a phantom sound or a call

I am my own only guest

Trying hard to find some rest

Yes I am my own only guest

Verse 2

Dust settles soft on the velvet blue

No one here to tell me what to do

Four corners and a ceiling made of slate

Listening to the clicking of the iron gate

Pre-Chorus

It is a quiet riot in my head

Sleeping wakeful on a single bed

Thinking of the things I never said

Turning every silver thought to lead

Chorus

This house is a shell and I am the heart

Keeping all my secrets in the dark

Just me and the hum of the electric wall

Waiting for a phantom sound or a call

I am my own only guest

Trying hard to find some rest

Yes I am my own only guest

Bridge

Maybe I'll talk to the glass

Watch the slow hours pass

Close my eyes and just stay

Watching colors fade away

Chorus

This house is a shell and I am the heart

Keeping all my secrets in the dark

Just me and the hum of the electric wall

Waiting for a phantom sound or a call

I am my own only guest

Trying hard to find some rest

Yes I am my own only guest

I'm just my own only guest
