Hushed (feat. Iver Kleive)

Blanked out and silent

Give me a hushed grey world

Paint it for me

To float amid the dewy grass

Then don't let the day begin

Without the neon lights

the panic they bring

This roar of noise turns

my eyes opaque

Then restore the dampened chime

My memory sings

from when it was all aligned

and perfectly dimmed

So numbed by everything I fade

and I am everywhere but here

Oh, forgive my feeble mind

my want for escape

I know a fiercer soul than mine

would've held its shape

You might feel this trouble too

But how could I know?

Our heads tilted down

Glancing at a glow

 

So numbed by everything I fade

and I am everywhere but here

Where is the core I knew?

Something to bring home as the day was due

But we are no longer jarkept fireflies

Fragment after fragment we shine,

alone.

Give me a hushed grey world

Don't let the day begin

Blanked out, silent

Without the neon lights, the panic they bring

Blanked out, silent

Forgive my feeble mind

Blanked out, silent

Restore the dampened chime

Blanked out, silent

Boistrous ripples of thought

tumble me away

to where I am both sombre and ablaze

in an eternal soliloquy

---

Hand me now a hushed grey world

Paint it for me

Numbed by everything I

Fade for me these neon lights

I need to see again

I am everywhere but

Here is where I want to lie

Restore the quiet chime

And keep this day away
