I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly;

And I'm sorry I'm not quite explaining it right
But this noise becomes anger, and the anger is light
And this burning inside me would usually fade
But it isn't today
And the heat, and the shouting
And my heart is pounding, and my eyes are burning 
And suddenly, everything, everything is 

Quiet
Like silence, but not really silent
Just that still sort of quiet
Like the sound of a page being turned in a book 
Or a pause in a walk in the woods

Quiet
Like silence, but not really silent
Just that nice kind of quiet
Like the sound when you lie upside down in your bed
Just the sound of your heart in your head
