quiet

quiet i am sleeping in here
we need a little hope
for years i've been sleeping helpless
couldn't tell a soul

be ashamed of the mess you've made
my eyes never forget, you see behind me

silent metal mercies
castrate boys to the bone
jesus are you listening?
up there to anyone at all

we are the fossils, the relics of our time
we mutilate the meanings so they're easy to deny

be ashamed of the mess you've made
my eyes never forget, you see behind me

quiet i am sleeping
quiet
i don't trust you
i can't hear you

be ashamed of the mess you've made
my eyes never forget, you see behind me

behind me
the grace of falling snow
cover up everything you know
come save me from the awful sound of nothing
