When I Go Quiet
TitanChord
Intro
The loud ones talk. The quiet ones arrive.
Verse 1
I used to fill a room with noise
Every threat I made, I gave it a voice
Then they lowered her down at marker nine
Ain't wasted a word since that time
Pre-Chorus
So don't read my calm as kind
It's a hammer half-cocked behind
Chorus
When I go quiet, you better run
No warnings left, I gave 'em all out
When the shouting stops is when it's begun
Still water's where you drown
Verse 2
He shook the judge's hand and grinned
Drove the same road he killed her in
Still orders his beer, still sleeps at night
And I just watch from the edge of the light
Pre-Chorus
So don't read my calm as kind
It's a hammer half-cocked behind
Chorus
When I go quiet, you better run
No warnings left, I gave 'em all out
When the shouting stops is when it's begun
Still water's where you drown
Bridge
They think the storm's the part that's loud
It ain't — it's the hush before the cloud
I buried all my mercy at marker nine
Next man's grave gets drawn on the same line
When I go quiet, you better run
No warnings left, I gave 'em all out
When the shouting stops is when it's begun
Still water's where you drown
Outro
The loud ones talk. The quiet ones arrive.
