Verse 1
Wall of grey posters
I watch the dust settle
Sunlight feels too violent today
Maybe I just hide under sheets
Safe from the stares of girls
Whose names I never quite learned
Pre-Chorus
Cafeteria lines stretch like a sentence
Trunk of my car is the dinner table
Cold fries and local radio stations
Chorus
Quiet is my only companion now
I keep the blinds drawn tight
Quiet is my only companion now
I am invisible to their eyes
Nobody is calling my name tonight
Nobody is calling my name tonight
Verse 2
Mirror shows a stranger looking back
Thrifted sweater sleeves pulled down
Thumb through pages of old notebooks
Empty lines where friends should go
Black ink stains my shaking palm
Smeared charcoal across a pale face
Pre-Chorus
Group projects are a quiet nightmare
Choosing the seat in the back corner
Staring at the clock on the wall
Chorus
Quiet is my only companion now
I keep the blinds drawn tight
Quiet is my only companion now
I am invisible to their eyes
Nobody is calling my name tonight
Nobody is calling my name tonight
Bridge
Maybe I chose the glass box
Maybe you built the heavy lock
I am floating through the halls
Waiting for a shadow to blink
Chorus
Quiet is my only companion now
I keep the blinds drawn tight
Quiet is my only companion now
I am invisible to their eyes
Nobody is calling my name tonight
Nobody is calling my name tonight
