Heavy Metal. Song: Seeking More Peace.

Searching for something I can't name
I'm drowning in the noise again
Can't find my way back to myself
These walls keep closing in
I need to breathe, I need some help

Building up, building up, oh
The pressure's getting too intense
Building up, building up, oh
I'm losing all my innocence

Today I woke up feeling strange
Like something's gotta give or break
The world keeps spinning way too fast
And I just need a moment's grace
My mind is racing through the days
Can't slow it down or make it stop
Everyone's moving like machines

I used to think that strength meant war
That fighting hard was how to win
But now I'm tired of the battle
Want to let the calm come in

More peace is what I'm craving now
Don't know exactly why or how
But I'm done with all the anger
Done with feeling like I drown

Started keeping track of every moment that I lose my mind
Every time I snap at someone when I'm really just afraid inside
Used to think that being loud was how you showed that you were strong
But the strongest people that I know can admit when they are wrong
Peace ain't weakness, peace is power, learning how to just let go
Of the need to prove yourself to everyone you'll never know
I been writing in these pages trying to figure out my head
All these thoughts keep coming at me, wish I could just go to bed
But my brain won't stop its spinning, won't give me a single break
So I'm learning how to quiet all the noise for my own sake
More peace, more peace, that's all I really want to find
More peace, more peace, some quiet for my restless mind

I'm learning how to breathe again
To let the stillness settle in
Not every moment needs a fight
Sometimes you just need to begin

Writing down these scattered thoughts
Hoping they will make some sense
All this chaos in my chest
Needs to find some residence

More peace to heal the broken parts
More space between my racing heart
And all the pressure that I feel
To be something that I'm not

Looking back on who I was
Always angry, always loud
Now I'm searching for the quiet
In this overwhelming crowd

Maybe I can find my voice
In the silence, in the calm
In the spaces between noise

More peace, more peace
That's all I really need
More peace, more peace
To finally be free
