Lydia the Bard - Afraid of Quiet (Official Music Video)

STREAM NOW - https://ffm.to/afraidofquiet

Heeeeey, thank you so much for listening to the first track from my Debut EP 'Afraid of Quiet'! I am so excited to FINALLY be sharing this body of work with you. There will be two more songs releasing as part of this EP on June 1st and June 15th so mark the dates in your diaries!

This song holds a very special place in my heart as it narrates my experience with stress and anxiety, I hope it helps anyone else that may be going through the same!

Come back on June 1st for the next track from my EP!

Lyrics:

Promise I’m fine when I’m not
see my minds spinning round and around with my thoughts
I’m a pot with no lid and the water is bubbling
'bout to boil over the temperatures doubling

Siren alarm in the night and I can’t stop the noise
'cos I swear there’s a fire somewhere
I can’t see it or hear it or smell it or taste it
but what if I’m not prepared how will I face it

If I could calm myself down
just breath in and breath out
take a second let go of control
then my mind could be free

But what if i drop the ball for just a moment
who would pick it up, a friend or an opponent?

Can’t I just calm down
stop the sound
take a breath and just relax
but sometimes
I’m afraid of quiet
and what that would mean

Cry a lot, fill a room with my tears
I’m like Alice, except I’m the only mad one here
Wish I could face what is coming
but I keep on running I’m chasing the bunny

Did I wake you, my noise was too loud?
I’m sorry next time I’ll turn my grief down
If my turmoil troubles you I can just leave and I’ll cry in another room

I swear that I’m in control
Or least I will be

Working on
regulation
affirmation
and therapy
breath control
become a better me

Can’t I just calm down
stop the sound
take a breath and just relax
but sometimes
I’m afraid of quiet
and what that would mean

Tossing and turning
The suns in the sky
It’s 5am
I can’t close my eyes

Want to turn off
Just have some peace
white noise is here
And I can’t sleep

Tossing and turning
The suns in the sky
It’s 5am
I can’t close my eyes

Want to turn off
Just have some peace
white noise is here
And I can’t sleep

Tossing and turning
The suns in the sky
It’s 5am
I can’t close my eyes

Want to turn off
Just have some peace
white noise is here
And I can’t sleep

I swear that I’m in control or least I will be
I am ruler of my mind and it will bow to me, to me

But sometimes, I'm afraid of quiet and what that would-
