The Quiet - Trophy Boy Poems

The Quiet
Verse One

Alone is where I stay
It's where I dwell in
Writing past sins
I let in
One notebook, an a red pen
No sleep, just drink, can't heal with no peace
That's when the quiet rolled back and started to leave
You see it brought back memories
When I put down my bloody reef
Bit the curb to break my teeth
Broke all my philosophies
Tore down my walls, and beliefs
Shelved it high like a trophy
Unwrapping trauma left in me
(Slight Pause)
Whispers:
Why did it take so long for me to see

Chorus
Well I guess I was just covering it up
Or maybe it was my cover up?
and I guess I got a lot to say
Now I'm
Bringing back everything
How many lives do I have left to live?
How many sins do I got to forgive?
Now from this I can see right through
All this quiet led me to truth
Well I guess I got a lot to say
Now I'm
Writing down everything

Verse 2
I seem to like when I sink real deep
Edge of death is the only place where I can think
Truth pours out from my soul to the end of this pen
Lyrics written in red took my life to write what it saids
So please just
Lay them with me
This was my only peace
From memories on repeat
Of some things best left unsaid
Just take with me when I'm
(Pause)
Dead

Chorus
Well I guess I was just covering it up
Or maybe it was my cover up?
and I guess I got a lot to say
Now I'm
Bringing back everything
How many lives do I have left to live?
How many sins do I got to forgive?
Now from this I can see right through
All this quiet led me to truth
Well I guess I got a lot to say
Now I'm writing down everything

(Long Piano Bridge 45 seconds)

Final Chorus
Well I guess I was just covering it up
Or maybe it was my cover up?
and I guess I got a lot to say
Now I'm
Bringing back everything
How many lives do I have left to live?
How many sins do I got to forgive?
Now from this I can see right through
All this quiet led me to truth
Well I guess I got a lot to say
Now I'm writing down everything
