Matilda = 4S the Musical

[Guest guest]

Matilda, the best book in the history of the world, is now a musical on the

London equivalent of Broadway.

I love the soundtrack. Don't care if it makes me a nerd.

This song hit too close to home.

Quiet

Have you ever wondered, well I have

About how when I 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

The light will still travel away from us

At the speed of light

Which seems right in a way

What I'm trying to say

I don't know, but I think that inside my head

I'm just a bit different from all of my friends

The answers that come into my mind unbidden

And stories delivered to me fully written

When everyone shouts - they seem to like shouting

The noise in my head is incredibly loud

And I wish they would stop, my dad and my mum

And the telly and stories would stop just for once

I'm sorry, I don't think I'm explaining it right

The noise becomes anger, the anger becomes light

And the burning inside me would usually fade

But it isn't today

With the heat and the shouting

My heart is pounding, and my eyes are burning

And suddenly everything, everything is

Quiet

Like silence but not really silent

Just that still kind of quiet

Like the sound of a page being turned in a book

Or a pause on a walk in the woods

Quiet

Like silence but not really silent

Just that still kind of quiet

Like the sound when you lie upside down on your bed

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
