The Quiet Room

[Intro: Vicki Vox]
Oh, yeah, oh

[Verse 1: Tilden Parc & Vicki Vox]
Out of touch with my feelings, stressin' appearances
Feelin' more solid 'bout who the man in the mirror is
I reach for hearts through the speaker box to connect with strangers
Paintin' the page with the language, but off the mic', I barely speak at all
I seldom see a flaw, bitch, I need it all
Shook by the way life is lately, I feel the earth pirouette (Oh, yeah)
I'm dazed like I'm seein' stars (Oh)
Got 'em all on a wave, it's more than just words to a page
It feel like I'm hostin' (Oh) a read-along, and I speak in tongues (Oh)
No translation, I'm out the bottle
I'm griеvin', leavin' (Oh) the beat, need a CPR
Disconnеcted, (Oh) I feel the pressure, I need acceptance
I'm from the crevice, where all my homies on somethin' special
They subtle flexin', but still, they hella selfish
Chasin' a bag, but it's good
They don't need the frank less to keep it a hundred
I'm seein' shit down the barrel (Oh), I named that gun right America
Arm with the ink that I'm flarin' up in my element
We losin' brothers to bullshit, we need protection, 'cause real niggas is rare enough
I rewrite the narrative, I conquer that feat alone
Got the needle jumpin' like bungee (Oh), I'm in the field like I'm huntin'
The work is Dope off the burner, I'm calculated, I'm talkin' numbers
Pray for longevity, sent to somebody's deity
Wrote that down, that's my therapy
Yeah, I'm deep in tune with my energy

[Chorus: Tilden Parc & Vicki Vox, Vicki Vox]
I side what I want
Should get high, then I'm back down
I'm liable to hurt you (Hurt you)
I just fall to the background (Oh yeah)
I just want a way out of it (Way out of it)
Yeah, things been sorta shaky
The time been movin' real fast
I just wanna lay here (Oh, yeah)
I just wanna lay here (Oh, yeah)
(Oh, wow)

[Verse 2: Tilden Parc & Vicki Vox]
Talk is dense, I'm tryna make sense of it
My stomach turnin' between it's lit and the dissonance
I know some people that's feelin' sick just existin' here
Brain blister, been caught up deep in the thick of it
I lane switch through the fog, it's hard to see where I'm headed
But fuck it, ain't no turnin' back, the past is where we've been
It feel like somethin' missin'
And I've been out here on an impossible mission
My head down, to myself, and I smile to stay in the moment while tryna stay out my feelings
Tryna boost my subscribers, I'm tryna maintain the vision
People that know me closest live different than what they show me
It's hard to feel like they know me when I'm just scrollin' through images
Truth be told, I feel pain, but I'm on the pinnacle
Been chasin' this music thing for a minute, though
Know some good people that never see success
And here I am, sittin' worried 'bout show appearances
With everything crazy, you still my source of peace
You filter out the lows, you give me what I need
Will give you the world, but it don't belong to me (Mmm-mm)
It's feelin' like it's love, if not, it's the closest I'll be

[Chorus: Tilden Parc & Vicki Vox, Vicki Vox]
I side what I want
Should get high, then I'm back down
I'm liable to hurt you (Hurt you)
I just fall to the background (Oh yeah)
I just want a way out of it (Way out of it)
Yeah, things been sorta shaky
The time been movin' real fast
I just wanna lay here (Oh, yeah)
I just wanna lay here (Oh, yeah)
