Without a Sound
Julia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stand on your own with your son
I'm the one with the gun
Mercy's nothing but a whore
Mercy killing even more
And you are wrong when I am right
Disbelievers are denied
I'm so pretty
So pretty on the inside

[Chorus]
Without a sound
No remorse
I'm a freak
And you're a whore
I'd rather be
Nothing at all
We're both killers 'till we fall
[2x]

Another dream
Another shout
Another trigger
Another cloud
You didn't mean to break my jaws
I didn't mean to stab in my claws
A dirty face
A rusty knive
We shouldn't fuck while we drive
And we're so pretty
So pretty on the outside

Chorus ...

Stand on your own with your son
Now you're the one with the gun
Mercy's nothing but a whore
Mercy killing even more
And I am wrong when you are right
Disbelievers are denied




You're so pretty
So pretty on the inside
