The only way to be quiet is to be quick

A slow death rite like an innocent fight

Left me choked and white in a patch of light

Feeling like a wick wax drowned and bright

Burned skin like a string black ashes slight

I know I gotta kick but I can’t get sick

I’ll hold you here tight, keep you overnight

And it gets too bright, and your body’s a brick

Keep outta sight while my watch just ticks

I’m trying to keep quiet but I can’t move quick

Drowning in air, light, floating up in flight

Then it gets too bright, and your body’s a brick

You fall

I forced myself to be quiet just to be quick

Lead a slow death rite like an innocent fight

Left me choked and white in a patch of light

Feeling like a wick wax drowned and bright

Burned skin like a string black ashes slight

I know I gotta kick but I can’t get sick

I’ll hold you here tight, keep you overnight

And it gets too bright, and your body’s a brick

But now I’m fucked to die in a world of shit

I’m trying to keep quiet but I can’t move quick

Drowning in air, light, floating up in flight

Then it gets too bright, and your body’s a brick

And you fall
