Devoured By The Quiet 歌词

Teeth in my tongue Chewing every word I say I lock my hands So I don't throw the world away I pace these tiles Counting every little crack One wrong thought And I know I won't come back I am devoured by the quiet By the sober thing inside If I let it out in silence Nothing living will survive Should I surrender to the hunger Let it swallow what I've been Maybe mercy is the monster If I let it win Nails in my palm Crescent moons of held-back rage I taste old ash From every burned and broken page I see your face And all the ways that I could scar it So I drink my own venom Just to keep you from my target I am devoured by the quiet By the sober thing inside If I let it out in silence Nothing living will survive Should I surrender to the hunger Let it swallow what I've been Maybe mercy is the monster If I let it win What if I just give in Let it scrape my bones all clean Strip my habits from my skin Leave a shiny, sharpened thing Would the world be finally safe If I vanish in its throat Or am I saving you from hell Every time I do not choke I am devoured by the quiet By the sober thing inside If I let it out in silence Nothing living will survive Should I surrender to the hunger Let it swallow what I've been Maybe better if I'm eaten Than to turn you into sin (Yeah) I am devoured by the quiet And I'm begging it To win
