Lyrics
Verse 1
There’s a rumor in my teacup
Cards all talking from the floor
Ceiling’s humming little secrets
But the clock won’t say what for
Neighbors’ shadows dance in daylight
Coats are laughing on the chairs
Every thought’s a tilted picture
But the quiet’s everywhere
Chorus
Insanity keeps the silence
Like a grin that will not speak
All the noise stays on the inside
Spilling out in little leaks (hey!)
Tip your hat to the chaos
Let it waltz across your mind
Insanity keeps the silence
While it’s scribbling over time
Verse 2
Phone is ringing with no number
I invite the ring to stay
Set a table for the echoes
They just stare and look away
I’ve been arguing with wallpaper
It’s convinced I’m doing fine
All my questions tap like drumsticks
On the edge of every line
Chorus
Insanity keeps the silence
Like a grin that will not speak
All the noise stays on the inside
Spilling out in little leaks (oh yeah)
Toast the truth in a teacup
Let it spill and blur the line
Insanity keeps the silence
While it bends the hands of time
Bridge
Shh—hear that?
Nothing, nothing, nothing
But my heartbeat syncs
With a band that doesn’t blink
Chorus
Insanity keeps the silence
Like a crowd that will not cheer
All the trumpets in my ribcage
Only I can ever hear (hey!)
So I dance with all my phantoms
Snap in step, pretend it’s fine
Insanity keeps the silence
While it scatters my old mind
