quiet. - eli rivera lyrics
[verse 1]
i used to talk until my throat went numb
you look away and call it love
i learned that silence keeps the peace
so i bit my tongue until it bled through my t**th
you only listen when the crowd agrees
now i’m the ghost that haunts your faith
funny how my name tastes sweet
when i’m not there to speak
[pre*chorus]
you say you’ve changed but i’ve heard that song
the words are right, the tone’s still wrong
[chorus]
so i’ll stay quiet, let the noise eat itself alive
you’ll call it distance, i’ll call it peace
i’ve had enough of trying to be seen
you are my thoughts now that i’m gone
too late, the moment’s moved on
i spoke my truth, you denied it
so now i’ll stay quiet
now i’ll stay quiet
[verse 2]
you post your quotes without empathy
but you never meant that sh*t for me
you build your worth from borrowed pain
and i’m the proof you can’t erase
it’s strange how now you spell my name
like it’s holy, like it stays
i was invisible until i left
now you swear you understand regret
[pre*chorus]
you say you changed but i heard that song
the words are right, the tone is still wrong
[chorus]
so i’ll stay quiet, let the noise in itself alive
you’ll call it distance, i’ll call it peace
i’ve had enough, i’m trying to be seen
you want my thoughts now that i’m gone
too late, the moment’s moved on
i spoke my truth, you denied it
so now i’ll stay quiet
so now i’ll stay quiet
[bridge]
you don’t get to turn my silence into art
you don’t get to fix what you tore apart
every word i didn’t say
still burns louder anyway
you only listen when it’s too late
[chorus]
so i’ll stay quiet
so i’ll stay quiet
and i’ll let your echo take my place
you’ll call it pride, i’ll call it grace
we both know i’m better this way
you want my voice, but you lost the right
you only heard me in hindsight
you’ll scream my name, you’ll feel just silence
but i’ll stay quiet
i’ll stay quiet
