From the recording Is Anybody Listening?
Lyrics
In the corner, silent but observing
All the anger came without a warning
I know
They’re letting you down, letting you down slowly
All my tears blurring up my vision
Call it psychic, call it superstition
I see
You’re taking it easy
Isn’t it freeing, baby?
Sometimes, there’s power in the stillness
Stand back and play it like a witness
I know
We gotta keep it on the down-low
They’ll never find you in plain sight
Lay low and hit ‘em when it feels right
I know
It’s not an easy thing to outgrow
Not your fault they’re laughing at emotion
Everybody’s going through the motions
I feel
They’re shutting you down, shutting you down slowly
Don’t you ever let them take control now
Keep it cool, but never keep your head down
I speak
Straight from the center, don’t need a censor, baby
Sometimes, there’s power in the stillness
Stand back and play it like a witness
I know
We gotta keep it on the down-low
They’ll never find you in plain sight
Lay low and hit ‘em when it feels right
I know
It’s not an easy thing to outgrow
In the corner, silent but observing
All the anger came without a warning
I know
They’re letting you down, letting you down slowly
I know
They’re letting you down, letting you down slowly
