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
