Quiet time is here
I'm gonna sit myself down, I'm gonna turn down the sound (and wrap myself around it)
And until I reappear
Let me make this crystal clear, better not try to interfere
When I feel surrounded by and I want to sit and cry
And the tension builds too high to stand,
I'm longing for tranquility, and some more stability
And less hostility, and more patience than I have at hand
Quiet time is here
I'm gonna sit myself down, I'm gonna turn down the sound (and wrap myself around it)
And until I reappear
Let me make this crystal clear, better not try to interfere
When I face a wall of pain while I'm dodging a hurricane
And there's too much pressure to contain,
I'm reaching for sincerity, dial back the intensity
Silence a necessity to release this misguided strain
Quiet time is here
I'm gonna sit myself down, I'm gonna turn down the sound (and wrap myself around it)
And until I reappear
Let me make this crystal clear, better not try to interfere
When I teach though I cannot learn, no resolution to discern
And there's nowhere to turn, I stall,
So I stop and I hesitate, in a bid to de-escalate
Take the time to recalibrate before I slip and take a fall
Quiet time is here
I'm gonna sit myself down, gonna turn down the sound
Quiet time is here
I'm gonna sit myself down, I'm gonna turn down the sound (and wrap myself around it)
And until I reappear
Let me make this crystal clear, better not try to interfere
