Lyrics for 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 am sleeping Quiet, I don't trust you Shut up, shut up, I can't hear you now 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.
