Quiet ft. Richard Shaw Lyrics

I've come to terms with the fact that this won't be private

Everybody pray for the silence

Cos the moment this ends in violence

I don't wanna be heard, I'd rather be quiet

I don't wanna be heard, I'd rather be quiet

I've put my foot in the shit again

I've found a liar in every friend, got backstabbed

Lemme backtrack to the fact that I stood my ground 'til the very end

Cos some people, they're just hard to please

But I swore myself to secrecy

If I have my say I'm just wrong, you see

So I'll save my breath for the next ten weeks

While you're all wrapped up playing the blame game

I'll be over here defending my name

If I do want fame, I'll find it my own way

I won't get caught in monotonous hearsay

You cunts just rattled my cage, why don't you just act your age?

I feel like a clown that got boo'd off stage

And the monkey with the cymbals took my place

Lock up the argument, bury the vault

Cos I'm in no mood to be fighting you all

You're all in your teams and you're aiming at me

And you blame it on me when it wasn't my fault

I know when I'm evil, I know when I'm not

You thought you'd gotten me caught

But I kept my mouth closed and I held my tongue

So I couldn't talk shit about anyone

Snakes in the grass, one minute they're guarding your back

But then you are under attack

I'm not looking for payback, take all the blame back

I'm just the guy that it says on the name tag

I'm normally good with secrets, but even I have my limits

Sometimes I oblige in an instant and other times I just fuck with you dimwits

I've come to terms with the fact that this won't be private

Everybody pray for the silence

Cos the moment this ends in violence

I don't wanna be heard, I'd rather be quiet

Quiet, quiet, I wanna be quiet

Don't wanna be heard, I'd rather be quiet

Everybody pray for the silence

I don't wanna be heard, I'd rather be quiet

I know you're ashamed of the mess you made

But I'm not the one who should take the blame

Everybody threw their ten pence in

But your personal life's not interesting

So I kept myself to myself this time so I couldn't get blamed for anything

If I don't say shit about the problem at hand

Nothing comes back around so everyone wins

Don't throw me in here with the liars, you'll only be stoking the fires

Everybody's got something good to say but I'll never say shit cos I'm gonna stay (quiet)

Cos ignorance is bliss to a point but you're passing my name around like a joint

And I'm the one that is getting smoked

But sooner or later you fuckers will choke

I can't lose sleep over Chinese Whispers

Leave me alone 'til you get the picture

You'll need more than a building bridge metaphor

If you have any shot of crossing this river

I'll be fucked if I ever forgive ya

Now I'll be taking it out on my liver

I'm holding a message I'll never deliver cos everyone painted me out as a sinner

Snakes in the grass, one minute they're guarding your back

But then you are under attack

I'm not looking for payback, take all the blame back

I'm just the guy that it says on the name tag

I'm pretty damn good with secrets, but everyone has their limits

And don't ever think I'll apologise for my innocence

So fuck your forgiveness

I've come to terms with the fact that this won't be private

Everybody pray for the silence

Cos the moment this ends in violence

I don't wanna be heard, I'd rather be quiet

Quiet, quiet, I wanna be quiet

Don't wanna be heard, I'd rather be quiet

Everybody pray for the silence

I don't wanna be heard, I'd rather be quiet

Quiet!

I've come to terms with the fact that this won't be private

Everybody pray for the silence

Cos the moment this ends in violence

I don't wanna be heard, I'd rather be quiet

Quiet, quiet, I wanna be quiet

Don't wanna be heard, I'd rather be quiet

Everybody pray for the silence

I don't wanna be heard, I'd rather be quiet

Quiet, quiet, I wanna be quiet

Don't wanna be heard, I'd rather be quiet

Quiet, quiet, I wanna be quiet

Don't wanna be heard, I'd rather be quiet

Quiet, quiet, I wanna be quiet

Don't wanna be heard, I'd rather be quiet

Everybody pray for the silence

I don't wanna be heard, I'd rather be quiet
