Peace & Quiet

(album: Gag Order - 2023)

Got the pendulum
Of emotions
Swinging back and forth
I'm up and down
Like waves in the ocean

I got that kind of light
Catches orbit
Pull you in but need my space
So fucking annoying

Maybe I should learn to be alone
Maybe I could do this on my own

Uh-huh

Maybe I should be a little less
I'm so fucking extra, it's a mess

Uh-huh

Maybe I should stop and take a breath
Maybe I'm not making any sense

But I would be lying
If I said I could do peace and quiet

Loving me
Is running into a house that's burning down, baby
Honestly
Make it out alive and you'll get the best of me

So get into it or get the fuck out
So get into it or get the fuck out
So get into it or get the fuck out

Like a Gravitron
Always spinning
Maybe this is normal
Goddamn, who am I kidding?

Holy spirit
Am I a demon?
Baby I'm the hero
And I'm the fucking villain

Maybe I should learn to be alone
Maybe I could do this on my own

Uh-huh
Maybe I could stop and take a breath
Maybe I could love a little less

Who's really making all the rules?
Everybody talking through their tooths

Uh-huh

I would be lying if I said I could do peace and quiet

Loving me
Is running into a house that's burning down, baby
Honestly
Make it out alive and you'll get the best of me

So get into it or get the fuck out
So get into it or get the fuck out
So get into it or get the fuck out

I would be lying if I said I could do peace and quiet

Monday, I'm praying
Tuesday, I'm heinous
Wednesday, I'm stable
Thursday I'm up to something
Friday, I'm screaming
When I'm asleep and
Then by the weekend
I'll need a restraining order
So get into it or get the fuck out
So get into it or get the fuck out
So get into it or get the fuck out

I would be lying if I said
Shh
