As they start to shout
She quietly lets herself out
Away from the pain and the words that they scream
And though she is dead, part of her is listening

She can't be what they need
She tries so hard but
To be everything to everyone
Is so tiring

She slowly fades away into someone else
Someone who can handle all the words
And she wonders who they see this time
She's thankful the emptiness no longer hurts

She's always amazed
When they tell her she can't act
And she'd laugh in their face
If only they knew what they say

They're so proud as she
Stands up to receive her award
But who are they proud of?
No one today

She slowly fades away into someone else
Someone who can handle all the words
And she wonders who they see this time
She's thankful the emptiness no longer hurts

And she's going down
Into the grave that she dug herself
She doesn't need your help
She can do it by herself
She's going down
Into the grave that she dug herself
She doesn't need your help
She's suffocating herself
For the quiet
