Peace and Quiet Lyrics

[Verse 1]
End up in alabaster
The radio counts your thoughts
You grow as big as the ocean
Soothing when I'm distraught

[Chorus]
But you can't run, you can't hide, you're a giant
You defend all the damage you caused
If I muster the strength to afflict you
I won't feel any better at all

[Verse 2]
Some cosmetic illusion
You'll rest your callow bones
And blame my hardworking father
For harm you cannot atone

[Chorus]
But you can't argue the truth you're exceeded
You will rest on your laurels and stall
If I muster the strength to afflict you
I won't feel any better at all

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
