[ Sometimes When Things Get Loud ]
[ I Instantly Want To Get Away From The Crowd ]

[ & Stand All Alone ]
[ So I Can Just Be On My Own ]

[ But When I Look Down ]
[ There Is No Other Person Around ]

[ Was The Noise ]
[ Just My Own Voice? ]

[ & The Reflection I See ]
[ In The Mirror ]
[ Was Just Me ]
[ Standing Here ]

[ Then How Do I Get Away? ]
[ For Just One Day? ]

[ What If I Spun Around Until My Head Will Spin? ]
[ I’d Probably Fall On My Butt ]
[ & Never Want To Do That Again ]

[ I Don’t Want To Go Outside Because Of All Of The Violence ]
[ I’d Stay In & Create My Own Silence ]

[ Sometimes Silence Is A Good Thing ]
[ Sometimes I Like The Smiles ]
[ That It Brings ]
[ The Smiles & Good Times ]
[ That Are Not Attached With Strings ]

[ Nothing Asked For, Nothing Borrowed ]
[ Not A Single Demand ]
[ That Needs To Be Delivered Tomorrow ]

[ Everything Is For Now! ]
[ There Is No One Peeking Around The Corner ]
[ Asking ( HOW? ) ]

[ Nobody Around To Not Believe You ]
[ Everybody Around Takes Your Word ]
[ @ Face Value ]

[ Ever ]
