Still Waters Drown
TitanChord
Intro
Verse 1
The loud creek's shallow, you can count the stones
The river that takes you don't make a tone
You called me calm like calm was weak
Waded past your depth to prove you're some kind of peak
Now your feet don't touch and the current's slow
And a slow, quiet pull is the worst way to go
No thrash, no splash, no time to shout
Still waters don't warn you — they just take you out
Chorus
Still waters drown, they don't splash
The loud ones make noise, the deep ones just pull
You swam on out past where you could stand
Still waters drown — and the calm ones are full
Verse 2
You ever wonder why a man goes still?
It's 'cause the loud part died on a hospital hill
Everything I'd yell, I already screamed
Into a pillow the night I stopped bein' redeemed
So what's left runs deep and it don't make waves
Just carries quiet like the county graves
You mistook the surface for somethin' safe
Still waters drown — you learned it a breath too late
Chorus
Still waters drown, they don't splash
The loud ones make noise, the deep ones just pull
You swam on out past where you could stand
Still waters drown — and the calm ones are full
Outro
Deep and quiet. That's where you're standin' now.

Intro
Verse 1 The loud creek's shallow, you can count the stones The river that takes you don't make a tone You called me calm like calm was weak Waded past your depth to prove you're some kind of peak Now your feet don't touch and the current's slow And a slow, quiet pull is the worst way to go No thrash, no splash, no time to shout Still waters don't warn you — they just take you out
Chorus Still waters drown, they don't splash The loud ones make noise, the deep ones just pull You swam on out past where you could stand Still waters drown — and the calm ones are full
Verse 2 You ever wonder why a man goes still? It's 'cause the loud part died on a hospital hill Everything I'd yell, I already screamed Into a pillow the night I stopped bein' redeemed So what's left runs deep and it don't make waves Just carries quiet like the county graves You mistook the surface for somethin' safe Still waters drown — you learned it a breath too late
Chorus Still waters drown, they don't splash The loud ones make noise, the deep ones just pull You swam on out past where you could stand Still waters drown — and the calm ones are full
Outro Deep and quiet. That's where you're standin' now.
