Flowertruck - Quiet! lyrics

I tried to fall asleep
I tried to count in sheep, I couldn't do it
The static of the day
Remaining in some way that kept me lucid
Oh, I can be so quiet
Barely lifting up a finger
But my thoughts are too
Dismissive of the night

The heavier my eyes became
The more I prized that silent rhythm
But slumber has to fight
A conscious restless mind in spite of comfort
Oh, silence is the product
Of the readily accepted
Time for rest, I can’t grapple with the quiet
Lеt's go


I tried to hear the sеa
Be mindful of my breathing in the moment
But silence kept me up
Evading my best plot to try and fool it

So I'll just think in insomnolence
(Listen to myself, listen to myself)
Dream about my earthly freedoms
(Listen to myself, listen to myself)
Scoff at those who sleep so easy
(Listen to myself, listen to myself)
Dream of things like that

Shush (Quiet) stop (Quiet)
Calm (Quiet) breathe (Quiet)
Drift (Quiet) rest (Quiet)
Wake (Quiet) what? (Quiet)
Why does it have to be so quiet?


I can’t slip into rest
Overwrought by the mess
Of my thoughts unconscious pinch me!
Why does it have to be so quiet?
I can't resolve quiet control
I can't park this moment
Why does it have to be so quiet?
I can't resolve quiet control
I can't rest with quiet
Why does it have to be so quiet?
