歌词
[Intro] [Verse] Cold water at my knees Floating memories I can't seize Cardboard pulp and gray mold The secrets that she never told I pull the plastic back A life left off the track [Pre-Chorus] Her handwriting is a ghost The thing I fear the most The ink begins to bleed The life she didn't lead [Chorus] Oh, the quiet way she broke Swallowing the words she spoke A legacy of hollow sound Buried in the sodden ground I won't be the one To finish what she's begun In the silence of the flood I'm washing out the blood [Verse] Page forty-two is torn A version of her never born She stayed to keep the peace Waiting for a sweet release The rules were written clear Live your life in constant fear Hide the fire in your chest Lay the wild heart to rest [Pre-Chorus] The water's rising high Underneath a heavy sky I see the pattern now I'm breaking every vow [Chorus] Oh, the quiet way she broke Swallowing the words she spoke A legacy of hollow sound Buried in the sodden ground I won't be the one To finish what she's begun In the silence of the flood I'm washing out the blood [Bridge] I find the match, I find the light Ending this eternal night I am not her echo now I am the fire and the plow Burn the paper, burn the ink Standing on the jagged brink I will not be small I will not take the fall [Hook] Burn it all down In this ghost town Watch the smoke rise From her tired eyes [Chorus] Oh, the quiet way she broke Swallowing the words she spoke A legacy of hollow sound Buried in the sodden ground I won't be the one To finish what she's begun In the silence of the flood I'm burning out the blood [Post-Chorus] The ashes meet the rain Washing away the stain No more quiet rooms No more dusty tombs [Outro]
