Lyra Ashworth - Too Loud

Описание: It's not the world that's loud. It's her.

"Too Loud" is the first song from The Astral Dominion — a dark fantasy series about a woman who sees too much, feels too deeply, and cannot make her mind be quiet.

"It's like wearing a coat three sizes too small while someone plays seventeen different songs at once and expects you to dance to all of them." — The Whispering Rift, Chapter 1

Lyrics:

Forty-three scratches on the table
Seventeen songs all playing at once
The light shifted point-three degrees this morning
And I felt it before I opened my eyes
Four hundred thoughts inside a minute
And every single one demands its due
I didn't ask to know this
I didn't ask

And you're talking but I'm counting your breathing
Four beats in, six beats out, slight catch on the third
I want to hear you—I'm trying to hear you
But I'm drowning in the words

It's too loud in here
And I don't mean the sound
It's the everything, always
That won't quiet down
Every crack in the ceiling
Every thread I can't unsee
It's too loud in here
And the noise is just me

I learned young that existing too loudly
Breaks whatever spell makes people stay
So I hold my breath and I count the silence
But my mind files that away
Even grief comes with timestamps
Ten years, four months, eleven days
I wanted to forget her
But my brain doesn't work that way

It's too loud in here
And I don't mean the sound
It's the everything, always
That won't quiet down
Every dust mote falling
Every frequency
It's too loud in here
And the noise is just me

I'm trapped inside a library that's burning
And I'm trying to read every book at once
The pages turn to ash but I keep learning
Every single thing that no one wants

I just want to miss something
Let a single detail go
But even when I'm sleeping
The numbers never slow

It's too loud in here
And it's never going to stop
It's the everything, always
And I'm so tired
God, I'm so tired
Of the everything, always
That won't quiet down
I was born with the volume
Turned all the way up
It's too loud in here
And the noise
Is just me
