Promise I'm fine when I'm not See my minds spinning round and around with my thoughts I'm a pot with no lid And the water is bubbling Bout to boil over the temperatures doubling Siren alarm in the night And I can't stop the noise 'Cause I swear there's a fire somewhere I can't see it or hear it Or smell it or taste it But what if I'm not prepared how will I face it?

To me! But sometimes I'm afraid of Quiet And what that would
