Loud

V1:

Walking down these crowded streets

Feels like everybody is watching me

Waiting for the slightest misstep

Like I'm in a crowded library

Waiting to shush me

So I shut my mouth

Don't let nothing out

Chorus:

But if they only knew

The weight of these thoughts

Bouncing around so loud

I can't drown them out

Louder than any noise

An approaching train or a passing plane

Just want to scream and shout

Till it's not so loud

V2:

Instead I keep to myself

I couldn't handle the judgment

When they don’t even know me

Keep my headphones on

And the curtains drawn

So it doesn't leak out

Constant motion, moving about

Chorus:

But if they only knew

The weight of these thoughts

Bouncing around so loud

I can't drown them out

Louder than any noise

An approaching train or a passing plane

Just want to scream and shout

Till it's not so loud

Bridge:

Got a brain full of doubt

My mind's a maddening crowd

Better find a way to let it out  

Chorus:

But if they only knew

The weight of these thoughts

Bouncing around so loud

I can't drown them out

Louder than any noise

An approaching train or a passing plane

Just want to scream and shout

Till it's not so loud
