Quiet In My Chest (Soft Close-Mic)

Verse 1

Morning hits

My heart is racing

Teeth still brushed

But hands keep shaking

Coffee cold

I just keep staring

At the door I’m scared to open

Tiny things feel like they’re giants

Every thought starts a siren

Put my phone down

Pick it up again

Chasing air like it’s oxygen

Chorus

I just breathe in peace

Breathe out pressure

Count my way back home to center

Four slow in

Hold for seven

Eight out

Let it fall to heaven

Every breath

A little less

Till it’s quiet in my chest

Quiet in my chest

Verse 2

Bus ride hum

My mind is spinning

Crowded room

But I’m still thinning

Smile on face

My knees keep trembling

Trying hard to look like I’m okay

Text a friend

“today feels heavy”

They just write

“I’m here already”

Sit in silence

Let the shaking fade

Side by side till I’m not afraid

Chorus

I just breathe in peace

Breathe out pressure

Count my way back home to center

Four slow in

Hold for seven

Eight out

Let it fall to heaven

Every breath

A little less

Till it’s quiet in my chest

Quiet in my chest

Bridge

It’s alright if I fall apart (oh)

It’s alright if I need to stop

I am more than a racing heart

I am more than a worried thought

Chorus

So I breathe in peace

Breathe out pressure

Talk myself back home to center

Four slow in

Hold for seven

Eight out

Let it fall to heaven

Every breath

A little less

Till it’s quiet in my chest

Quiet in my chest
