lyrics
Baby I know you want to rest
Get comfortable with your regrets
Don’t want to hear the riot act
Get read again
Upper west side Central Park view
But you don’t feel quiet inside
Suddenly conscious of just
How high up we are
Now it’s so loud it’s quiet
Ready or not
They’re shouting Quiet! Quiet!
Into the starry night
Oh, did you believe the hype? The lines?
Cause we could foresee the fall,
The crash, the crowds, oh the crowds….
Now it’s so loud it’s quiet
Ready or not
They’re shouting Quiet! Quiet!
Into the starry night
Can you tell me tell me
Where’s the safe house?
Tell me, tell me where to hide out?
Tell me, tell me where’s the safe house?
Tell me, tell me
Get comfortable with your regrets
Don’t want to hear the riot act
Get read again
Upper west side Central Park view
But you don’t feel quiet inside
Suddenly conscious of just
How high up we are
Now it’s so loud it’s quiet
Ready or not
They’re shouting Quiet! Quiet!
Into the starry night
Oh, did you believe the hype? The lines?
Cause we could foresee the fall,
The crash, the crowds, oh the crowds….
Now it’s so loud it’s quiet
Ready or not
They’re shouting Quiet! Quiet!
Into the starry night
Can you tell me tell me
Where’s the safe house?
Tell me, tell me where to hide out?
Tell me, tell me where’s the safe house?
Tell me, tell me

Hypnos / Flame
by CHELSEA WOLFEsupported by 5 fans who also own “Riot Act”
Eerie, haunting, melancholic and unbelievably sexy. Chelsea Wolfe has always been a very versatile songwriter, from gothic doom to noise, to acoustic balads and everything inbetween.

Unknown Rooms: A Collection Of Acoustic Songs
by CHELSEA WOLFEsupported by 4 fans who also own “Riot Act”
The first time I listened to 'Pain is beauty', I was instantly enamored of Chelsea Wolfe's unique sound . It is dark and raw but simultaneously sensual. On this acoustic album there is an added fragility which I find enchanting.
