Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Quiet

I am sleeping

In here

We need a little hope

For years

I’ve been sleeping

Helpless

Couldn’t tell a soul

[Chorus]

Be ashamed

Of the mess you’ve made

My eyes never forget, you see

Behind me

[Verse 2]

Silent

Metal mercies

Castrate

Boys to the bone

Jesus

Are you listening

Up there

To anyone at all?

[PreChorus]

We are the fossils

The relics of our time

We mutilate the meanings

So they’re easy to deny

[Chorus]

Be ashamed

Of the mess you’ve made

My eyes never forget, you see

Behind me

[Bridge]

Quiet (Quiet)

I am sleeping

Quiet (Quiet)

I am sleeping

Quiet (Shut it)

I don’t trust

You (Shut it)

I can’t hear you now

[Chorus]

Be ashamed

Of the mess you’ve made

My eyes never forget, you see

Behind me

[Outro]

Behind me the grace of falling snow

Cover up everything you know

Come save me from the awful sound

Of nothing
