Lyrics Intimidated By Silence - Cars & Trains, Blue Sky Black Death

Intimidated By Silence

out the window i
heard the sound of the sun
and i lost myself to
all we tried to be
to recede into the sea
and open our eyes
on the coasts
and to not feel lost anymore
to stand firm like the roots of a tree
sleeping through everything
and these instruments go on
long after i’m gone
trying to make what we hold
and it comes out in song
i promised myself i wouldn’t be
in the summer i
heard the leaves in the air
wave to all the, the things we tried to be
before we fell into the sea
and forgot all of our names that echo
and these words go on
long after we’re gone
trying to paint what we see,
but it comes out all wrong
the meter of the song that i sing
loses time with the air that i breathe
through my lungs as the dust settles
