歌詞

The room stayed loud

So I made my blood quiet

The light stayed hard

So I taught my eyes to lie

Nobody turned the world down

Nobody moved the wall

So I folded the panic

Until it looked small

I did not calm down

I only got smaller

The world hit full volume

I swallowed the sound

It did not get gentler

I just learned to go down

My face did the working

My hands stayed polite

My chest took the impact

And called it all right

Do not praise my control

It cost me my body

The world hit full volume

I swallowed the sound

It did not get gentler

I just learned to go down

That was not peace

That was self-erasure

That was not strength

That was damage in a blazer

The world kept its volume

I paid with my shape

I did not get better

I just made less space
