ShyWill - Quiet Place Lyrics

I'm coming out from my quiet place
I've been through hell with a smile on my face
I tried to keep the door closed the locks misplaced
If you knew my thoughts would you really offer grace?
Displaced

Man what's wrong with me
Have a couple degrees but still not who I want to be
Listen

These are my true feelings, I'll never apologize
If I though about you my voice would be paralyzed, next line
Or should i say next lie
America cares about these folks in prison they privatize
Whoa

I better chill, I might loose some cred for this
That's ok why morn a relationship that's never been

I carried this for way too long
I feel the hate but you still wanna play my songs
I make you think outside yourself is that so wrong
Build bridges not walls for what doesn't belong

Applied for a job check this real quick
Skin was the wrong color now ain't that some Shhh

I deconstructed my faith and everything shifted
Did I really believe in Christ or did I get it twisted
White Jesus on the walls white savior is depicted
Now I know his brown skin was afflicted
Listen

We can't afford to be silent
When we go mute, hate goes violent
I can't read another story of a black man dying
They carry torches of hate mothers can't stop they cryin'

Chanting blood and soil
They married to a flag, I guess i ain't loyal, O'doyle

Who really rules this land
Stripped it from natives now they telling Kaepernick to stand
Man

I can't be the only one that sees this
I turn the mirror on myself I try to look like Jesus

My wife says I struggle to be happy
Man I think she's right, maybe I can't be
I have a lot fun but here's something you can't
I feel confident in the struggle cuz I ain't got no plan B
Quite place
