You walk into the room with your head held high
Every eye turns your way but they don't know why
You talk about the trends the latest scene
But your words don't match the dream you scheme
You wear your labels like a badge of pride
But what's underneath you're trying to hide
Every story you tell feels rehearsed and cold
Like a book with no insides just a cover to hold
The only time you are interesting is when you're quiet
When the noise fades away and I can't deny it
Beneath all the chatter there's something true
But I can't get to it with the rest of you
Your designer boots stomp to a borrowed beat
But you don't know the rhythm beneath your feet
You talk about the trendy stuff that nobody knows
But your words are all surface just for show
You say you're unique but I've heard it before
A carbon copy of a million more
If you'd just sit still and let the mask fall
You might find yourself worth something after all
The only time you are interesting is when you're quiet
When the noise fades away and I can't deny it
Beneath all the chatter there's something true
But I can't get to it with the rest of you
Oh the silence speaks louder than your borrowed lines
In the quiet there's a beauty I wish was mine
Stop chasing shadows trying to be seen
Let the stillness show me where you've been
The only time you are interesting is when you're quiet
When the noise fades away and I can't deny it
Beneath all the chatter there's something true
But I can't get to it with the rest of you
So hush now child don't say a word
Let the world pass by
Let me see the truth that's hiding in your eyes
The only time you are interesting is when you're quiet
When the world fades away and you are silent
