Quiet
Bilmuri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels back at the center.
After some time apart.
Run it back together.
Coffee stains in the carpet.
Falls down through the floor.
As the pain floods in,
I start over.
Can't keep my lips from speaking.
As Im lying on the floor, can't keep my heart from feeling.
Can't stay close to the spark.
Paint it black at the ends.
To remove these scars.
To start over.
Feel the grey take over.
With the wait of your words.
If its what you want,
Then I understand.
Can't stay quiet anymore.
Can't keep my lips from speaking.
As I'm lying on the floor.
Can't keep my heart from feeling.
I keep lying here awake.
Can't keep my mind from thinking.
I hold my heart in my hands.
Can't keep my chest from sinking. Oh.
