The Rooms Where I Hide

[Intro ]Em D C D
Em
In quiet rooms where daylight fades,
G F
I lay my name in colder shades.
Em
The walls don’t ask what I’ve become —
G F
They let the silence come undone.
G F
It’s not that I run from the light…
G F
It just burns too bright.
G Am
These are the rooms where I hide,
F G Am
Not from love — but from its tide.
F G C
The world is loud, it cuts too deep,
Em F G Am
So I choose the dark to sleep.
F G C Em
These are the rooms where I remain,
F G Em B Em B
Where quiet doesn’t call my name.
{Instrumental} Em B Em B G F G F
Em D C D
Em D
No mirrors here to show my face,
C Em
No morning knocking at this place.
I dim the echoes in my chest,
D C
And let the broken parts just rest.
G F
It’s not escape — it’s self-defense…
G F
Against too much existence.
G Am
These are the rooms where I hide,
F G Am
Not from you — but from the light.
F G Am G
If I step out, I lose my skin…
F G Am G F G Am
So I stay where I’ve always been.
