Quiet Like a Vow

[Verse 1]

Down here the water keeps its own time

Cold climbs my ribs like ivy

Nobody calls and nobody climbs

So I stopped keeping count of the days

I learned the language of the dark

Its low hum its patient reply

The well has a mouth and it drinks every shout

And I let it I let it

[Pre-Chorus]

And it's quiet

God it's quiet

Quiet like a hand over my mouth

[Chorus]

I love the quiet I hate the quiet

Both at once and neither wins

I love the quiet I hate the quiet

The well is a home I was buried in

[Post-Chorus]

(Down, down, down)

Buried in

(Down, down, down)

Let me in

[Verse 2]

Some nights I forget there was a surface

Forget the sound of my own name

I trace the walls like a prayer I invented

And the stone starts to feel like a friend

So I sank and I stayed and I softened

Traded the sky for a bruise-colored calm

Now I flinch when the light finds a crack in the lid

Because leaving would hurt worse than this

[Pre-Chorus]

It's so quiet

So quiet

Quiet like a vow I can't break

[Chorus]

I love the quiet I hate the quiet

Both at once and neither wins

I love the quiet I hate the quiet

The well is a home I was buried in

[Post-Chorus]

(Down, down, down)

Buried in

(Down, down, down)

Let me in

[Bridge]

I built a bed out of silence

I carved my name in the wet

I built a bed out of silence

And I sleep and I sleep and I sleep

[Breakdown]

Lonely lonely lonely

(Lonely lonely lonely)

Lonely lonely lonely

(Lonely lonely lonely)

[Chorus]

I love the quiet I hate the quiet

Both at once and neither wins

I love the quiet I hate the quiet

The well is a home I was buried in

[Post-Chorus]

(Down, down, down)

Buried in

(Down, down, down)

Let me in
