In Quiet Rooms

Walk on by
Singing all the songs you know
And if this is how I die
It's not a bad way to go

To hear that sound
So soft it goes
The words I said
Were all for show
It's just us now
Look how it slows
You're in my head
You already know

Tomorrow comes too soon
The end is in full bloom
I want to be consumed
To love in quiet rooms

But my pain is not profound
My loss is not unique
My heroes are underground
And I stole the words I speak

So take that train there
Climb into the wreck
Every fist full of hair
Every breath on your neck

All the ghosts you've ever loved
All the men that you have been
All the wind and all the dust
That have battered your skin

All of the roads
Every stone in every shoe
All of my favorite things
I gave them to you
