Rule the Quiet ft. Tony Halliwell Lyrics

All these years I've sat and obeyed

As I hear every word you say

Get used to the noise, it'll soon go away but it's louder everyday

A Problem shared is a problem halved as you sit there unaware

That your little sin has crept through the wall

And sunk under my skin

You say just ignore, close the door, as if I don't hear

Mind echos with your noise, as voice tells me all your fears

So full up with you that I'm too afraid to make my own sound

No one seems to care what I want and what I need

A second to be silent, have some quiet, feel the noise recede

And finally take a breath as I'm only hearing me, the only noise is me.

Give me silence

I'll make them quiet

Can't think before you speak

Then you'll learn quiet

Muzzle the violent

Force them to quiet

I'll finally be free

I'll rule the quiet

Time you learn to be seen and not heard, let's not hear another word

Don't want to know what you do where you go,

So give me a silent show

If a tree were to fall and no one was there

would it make a sound at all?

The answers yes, worry less bout the tree

And more about those in your halls

Grew up in this house, as the walls whispered desperately

For family I obeyed, masquerade, it took all of me

To know what I knew and to never ever speak a word

Heard every crack that appeared over all these years,

The ones brought by plaster and ones bought through pain and tears

I left them to break, if the magics gone then it can't hurt me

Give me silence

I'll make them quiet

Can't think before you speak

Then you'll learn quiet

Muzzle the violent

Force them to quiet

I'll finally be free

I'll rule the quiet

And when I'm through

Silence falls and I'm made anew

Use your words dear

Oh wait you can't

I can finally hear now that you've stopped talking

At last I hear me

Give me silence

I'll make them quiet

Can't think before you speak

Then you'll learn quiet

Muzzle the violent

Force them to quiet

I'll finally be free

I'll rule the quiet

Give me silence

I'll make them quiet

Can't think before you speak

Then you'll learn quiet

Muzzle the violent

Force them to quiet

I'll finally be free

I'll rule the quiet
