Quiet - Eighteen Visions

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 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
