Drowning on Dry Land

Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Drop]
The quiet is loud
The quiet is loud
[Verse 1]
Chest gets tight at 2am again
Lights are off but my brain won't dim
Counting breaths that never come out right
Every little sound feels too loud tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Drowning on dry land somehow
Racing heart and I don't know how
Everybody says just calm down
I'm still stuck inside this sound
[Chorus]
I swear I'm trying to breathe
My lungs forgot how to believe me
I smile so nobody sees
How loud the quiet can be
How loud the quiet can be
[Drop]
The quiet is loud
The quiet is loud
[Verse 2]
Replaying words I said last June
Certain everyone had left the room
Stomach knots and shaking hands won't sleep
Tired but I'm wired too deep
[Pre-Chorus]
If you know you know this ache
Not just worry it's a whole body shake
Everybody says just calm down
I'm still stuck inside this sound
[Chorus]
I swear I'm trying to breathe
My lungs forgot how to believe me
I smile so nobody sees
How loud the quiet can be
How loud the quiet can be
[Bridge]
Still here
Still trying
Still not free
Still me
[Chorus]
I swear I'm trying to breathe
My lungs forgot how to believe me
I smile so nobody sees
How loud the quiet can be
How loud the quiet can be
[Drop]
The quiet is loud
The quiet is loud
