[Verse 1]
Talking to myself in the car
Try to come up with the words to describe
How I felt, precious scars
Keep me reminded, I'm blinded, don't know where we are
Translate these demons into lines
My mind is choking
Faces showing perfect pictures of health
Holding my breath has gotten me this far
[Chorus]
The loudest silence
Is drowning out the sound of the engine
Keeps me stuck in my headspace
Playing songs to try and keep me distracted
But I can't gеt past it
Force of habit keeps me thinking
Share my thoughts with thе backseat
'Cause sometimes it feels like it's the only one listening
[Verse 2]
A mental notebook of my thoughts
Thousands of pages that burn in the back of my head
Provide the words I turn into these songs, but the well's running dry
Feed the disease, don't let ideas go
Tied down, can't think of the words I could say
Sick of the living this way, reasons I won't change
Inspiration is plummeting everyday
[Chorus]
The loudest silence
Is drowning out the sound of the engine
Keeps me stuck in my headspace
Playing songs to try and keep me distracted
But I can't get past it
Force of habit keeps me thinking
Share my thoughts with the backseat
'Cause sometimes it feels like it's the only one listening
[Bridge]
A silent ninety minute midnight drive
Overwhelmed by the radio, I try to find peace in the quiet
Keep my eyes up, stay awake
Intrusive instincts convince me to drive off the highway
[Chorus]
The loudest silence
Is drowning out the sound of the engine
Keeps me stuck in my headspace
Playing songs to try and keep me distracted
But I can't get past it
Force of habit keeps me thinking
Share my thoughts with the backseat
'Cause sometimes it feels like it's the only one listening
[Outro]
Rub my temple, press the pain from the headache
Temperamental, choked up on transcribing my feelings
Terminal cycle, keep a list of the reasons that I won't change
