this is a chair

and here is the table

we can sit down and see what we're able

to admit

 

I've got a pen

and you got the paper

both got a mouth

but no words to leave it

 

and it's so damn quiet here

it's so damn quiet here

 

but I can hear it in the back

and between the lines

all the luggage that you brought

from far away to here

 

and it's so damn loud in here

it's so damn loud in here

 

silence won't save us

words will not rescue us

but remembrance is the secret of redemption

remembrance is the secret of redemption

remembrance is the secret of redemption

 

but it's so damn quiet here

it's so damn quiet here
