| Spilling Silence | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| The hill's almost over Can you see the other side? With the radio blaring And these songs stir your insides But sometimes silence is a blessing in the making Till it's ruined by a sound from your own mouth And can you do without a burn for the taking Is there anything you can do without? Little noises kind of sassy And the background is tied in knots Lose your nerve and loose your stomach It's a toss-up not a cross It doesn't need to be like a messy river flowing To be perfect from a time when nothing's right Each night you write that you're still growing Will you finally just let it be right? Love it Not enough to work against the wind When you've heard a blown-out engine With a broken tool to fix it Not enough to cry your sorrow again Story ends as a comedy with tears Wipe them with whatever you cry for And forget that you bet That nothing helps Is the hill almost over? The other side is green With the radio turned off And a spilling silent sheen Run, run, run if you need to But please keep in heart that you're ruining yourself Tell me if you want the thoughts That you stuffed away on the very top shelves Cause with extra knowledge Even if it's right You distract the parts you let Into the game of life It's easy to silence what you don't want to hear But you should be trying to make it much more clear Sometimes it's a blessing in the making Sometimes you ruin it with your own mouth You can do without a burn for the taking There is a lot you can do without |
