The Ex (Punk Band) - Silent Waste lyrics
[The Ex Punk Band - Silent Waste lyrics]
Got sick
This room, before us, these windows
How thick
This wood, this structure, these words
Got sick
This room, before us, that sentence
Those bricks
As if words have no memory
As if words never go anywhere
As if you can just choose them randomly
And they won’t take you to court for that
As if words do not have a body
As if you can’t leave a bruise on their soul
As if words never wait for a traffic light
As if words never shout: "hey watch out!"
As if words never hide from the rain and wink
At their image in the windowpane
As if words cannot dance with the sun rays
Or throw up after just being raped
As if words do not have a history
As if the wind can just blow them away
As if you can go back, and hide all traces
As if you don’t really mean what you say
