Peace of Mind Lyrics

Voices in my head I cannot escape
they chase me, they race through the blood of my veins
they define and defeat me as they're running their course
and each time they hit they hit with more force
repeating, eating away at my spirit
I fear it will be the end of my sanity

Oh, where, where is the silence
Where, where is the stillness
I thought I find
Where, where is my peace of mind


I was buzzing at the thought of doing great things
flying mid-flight and I clipped my own wings
I stung my own stings
I robbed myself of things I thought I did not deserve
Will somebody please put my head in a straight jacket
tie it back, let me take a good look at it you can't catch it you can't catch crazy
I just wanna know where, where, where, where

Where, where is the silence
Where, where is the stillness
I thought I find
Where, where is my peace, my peace of my mind

Even when my head's not spinning
The kitchen sink is leakin', the hardwood floor's are creakin'
And you, you're breathing in and out, and in and out, and in and out
And I wanna put my hand over your mouth and say
Where is the silence

Where, where is the stillness
I thought I find
Where, where is my peace, my peace, my peace, my peace of mind
Oh, no, no
Oh yeah

Liz Longley (born in Downingtown, PA) is an American singer and songwriter. She is currently based in Nashville, TN.

Since her graduation from Boston’s renowned Berklee College of Music, Longley has assembled quite an impressive resume. While best known for her stop-you-in-your-tracks voice, Longley has quickly built a reputation as an accomplished songwriter, crafting intimately personal portraits through her music. Longley's ever-expanding fan base is not the only group to acknowledge her talent. In 2010 alone, Longley took home top prizes at some of the most prestigious songwriting competitions in the country; the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship Competition, the International Acoustic Music Awards and the Chris Austn Songwriting Contest.

While she has previously opened shows for established artists such as Mindy Smith, Nanci Griffith, Paula Cole, Livingston Taylor, Amos Lee, Shawn Colvin, Colin Hay and America, it is becoming clear that Longley has come into her own as a performer. The Washington Post declared that she is “destined to a bigger audience,” Dig Boston called her “a rising acoustic sensation” and even John Mayer is a fan, calling her music “gorgeous, just gorgeous.” Executives at Sirius XM caught wind of her cover of Van Morrison’s hit “Moondance” and added it into regular rotation, along with her award-winning original song, “When You’ve Got Trouble.” Read more on Last.fm.
