The Quiet Things No One Ever Knows
by Brand New· from Deja Entendu
We saw the western coast. I saw the hospitals.
And nursed the shoreline like a wound.
Reports of lovers trysts 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.
If today's the day it gets tired then today's the day we drop down.
Gave up my body and bed all for an empty hotel.
Wasting my words on lowercases 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...hallelujah.
