The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows

• Brand New
• Deja Entendu

We saw the western coast

I saw the hospital

Nurse the shoreline like a wound

Reports of lover’s tryst

Were neither clear nor descript

We kept it safe and slow

The quiet things that no one ever knows

So keep the blood in your head

And keep your feet on the ground

Today’s the day it gets tired

Today’s the day we drop down

Gave up my body in bed

All for an empty hotel

Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

I contemplate the day we wed

Your friends are boring me to death

Your veil is ruined in the rain

By then it’s you I can do without

There’s nothing new to talk about

And though our kids are blessed

Their parents let them shoulder all the blame

I lie for only you

And I lie well

Hallelu

I lie for only you

And I lie well

Hallelu
