I always wanted to be calm,
but I was lost in the sea of sound.
Then you showed up,
holding a mug of hot chocolate
And waiting to flop onto the couch
so, I was relaxed for the very first time

I think that it’s time

To tell you it’s you who keeps me calm
when we’re just curled up on the couch.
The TV in the background just pointless sound
The feeling is sweeter than chocolate,
and my soul keeps drifting up.

No, don’t turn the volume up!
The panic is coming back, and I’m running out of time
I’m sitting here, wishing for soothing chocolate,
trying to hold onto the calm.
I want to be somewhere where there’s no sound,
but I don’t want to leave this couch

Can I just stay? I’ll sleep here on the couch.
I can’t afford to give this up.
I won’t make any noise, not a single sound.
I feel the chaos coming back, as inevitable as the passing of time.
We could just lie here and bask in the calm.
I miss the sweet flavor of chocolate.

Our hours together tasted like chocolate
I was never happier than when we were sprawled out on the couch.
But then, you destroyed my calm.
Now chocolate’s too bitter, and I spit it up.
I let you in, but I promise it was the last time
Stay silent. Please, don’t make a sound.

My internal scream in is the only sound
But now, I only have this bitter chocolate.
And you won’t help. No, not this time.
So now, I’m hiding under the couch.
I’m stuck trying to figure out which way is up.
It feels like before a storm when everything is eerily calm

I promise I won’t make a sound if I can just stay here under this couch
Maybe I can find a different chocolate, or maybe the panic won’t ever show up
I’m hoping that this time I can finally stay calm.
