Silent Crisis Lyrics

If one day I chose to keep it inside

You'd never know what goes on in my mind

And sometimes I scare myself with how it's so easy

To keep things like this from everybody

And I want to tell you everything

Oh I'm so sick of avoiding

When I know it's slowly killing me

But I know what it's like to give free therapy

And I don't ever want to come before your needs

So I'll push mine aside as if that makes sense

And I won't say a word until I'm in crisis

I can feel it in my chest

The way it crawls up in my neck

My thoughts form a noose

But you'd never know

Because I can talk with my head underwater

My smile's convincing, but if you look harder

There are bubbles caught inside my throat

And I want to tell you everything

Oh I'm so sick of avoiding

When I know that it's slowly killing me

But I know what it's like to give free therapy

And I don't want to come before your needs

So I'll push mine aside as if that makes sense

And I won't say a word until I'm in crisis

And I'll complain no one hears me til I'm loud

But how could they when I never made a sound

I never made a sound

And I hate to feel like I'm lying

But if I know that I'm not dying

I'll survive telling myself it's fine

And I know one day it won't be alright

But how do I tell you everything

When all I know is avoiding

Because I am the one who gives free therapy

And I cannot stand not meeting your needs

So I'll push mine aside convinced it makes sense

And I won't say a word until I'm in crisis

But I won't say a word when I'm in silent crisis
