i'll go quietly

from what happened? by the smallest one

/

lyrics

picking and pulling
at crooked stars
just to cover our own.

if the planets weren’t hidden,
we’d still find ways
to make them feel alone.

thinking if i had
a better voice,
i’d be happier,

but i know once i got there,
i’d just be
aching for more.

i can’t make a move
without my eyes
twitching so tenuously.

to this hazy little world,
my lip begins to curl.
don’t mind, i’ll go quietly.

been listening to the rhythm
of the wind,
trying to pick up on the notes.

but the weather just keeps howling
and thundering
in my head, and i don’t know
if i’m high or i’m low.

i can’t feel a thing
without my hands
pulling back so nervously.

in this loud and busy place,
no one can see my face,
but i still feel like they’re watching me,
although, i know they’re not watching me.
don’t mind, i’ll go quietly.
