Kimo Sounds Burning Quiet

Nobody taught me how to fall apart so
I taught myself to look put together
I turned my breaking into a performance
Good enough to fool the room, if not forever
A flame gives light, never asked for credit
It just keeps burning till there's nothing left
I learned to shine the same way it does
Quietly and slightly out of breath
Call it strength if you want to
I call it burning quiet
Giving light while no one's watching
What it costs to buy it, I will come so well prove
I'm fine
Maybe some days
I can just be tired
The mirror's seen the version they don't know
And it never once required
They call me strong and
I just not alone
It's easier than telling them the truth
That strong was just a role
I got good at
Somewhere between the pain and being proof
Call it strength if you want to
I call it burning quiet
Giving light while no one's watching
What it costs to buy it
I wear the comb
So well even
I believe the lie
I tell you
Call it strength if you want to
I call it burning quiet
Giving light while no one's watching
What it costs to buy it
I wear the calm so well
Maybe tonight
I will oh
