Quiet Sheet Music Matilda the Musical

Quiet

Have you ever wondered-?
Well, I have
About how when I say, say, ‘red’
For example
There’s no way of knowing
If ‘red’ means the same thing in your head
As ‘red’ means in my head when someone says ‘red’

And how if we are travelling
At almost the speed of light
And we’re holding a light
That light would still travel away from us
At the full speed of light
Which seems right in a way

But I’m trying to say-
I’m not sure
But I wonder if inside my head
I’m not just a bit different from some of my friends
These answers that come into my mind unbidden
These stories delivered to me fully written

And when everyone shouts
Like they seem to like shouting
The noise in my head is incredibly loud
And I just wish they’d stop
My dad and my mom
And the telly
And stories would stop for just once

And I’m sorry
I’m not quite explaining it right
But this noise becomes anger
And the anger is light
And its burning inside me would usually fade
But it isn’t today
And the heat and the shouting
And my heart is pounding
And my eyes are burning
And suddenly everything, everything is-

Quiet

Like silence but not really silent

Just that still sort of quiet
Like the sound of a page being turned in a book
Or a pause in a walk in the woods
Quiet

Like silence but not really silent

Just that nice kind of quiet
Like the sound when you lie upside down in your bed
Just the sound of your heart in your head

And though the people around me-
Their mouths are still moving
The words they are forming
Cannot reach me anymore
And it is quiet
And I am warm
Like I’ve sailed
Into the eye of the storm
