Hmmmmmmm
Hmmm
The coffee is cold
In the chipped blue cup
I'm staring at the ceiling
Waiting for the sun to show up
The wallpaper's peeling just like my pride
There ain't no more secrets left for me to hide
I talk to the shadows but they don't talk back
Just a long dark train on a one-way track
I find your silver lighter
In the crack of the chair
It still smells like the smoke
And the mess of your hair
I tried to scrub the floors
Tried to wash out the stain
But you can't clean a heart
When it's drenched in the rain
My own life's a hustle
But I've slowed to a crawl
Just a woman and a ghost
In a house with no wall
But the scream of the city don't bother me none
And the work on the line is already done
It's the quiet that's heavy
It's the ghost in the mind
It's the deafening ring
Of the silence you left behind
Yeah the silence can be kind
They say time is a healer but time is a thief
Taking the joy and just leaving the grief
I'm standing up alive
Though my knees are so weak
Searching for a truth
That I'm scared to speak
'Cause the scream of the city don't bother me none
And the work on the line is already done
It's the quiet that's heavy
It's the ghost in the mind
It's the deafening ring
Of the silence you left behind
Shh can you hear it?
The empty rooms
The echoes in the hall
Just the silence
