Silent Need

[Verse 1]
How long will it take?
To make my escape
Cause I
Am working to lose
Time
Oh, oh
Me, I'm the one
To take on his own
Choices that I owed
But I paid them no mind
This time

I think it's you, I think it's you
This change is alright
To fall in pieces
I sink, I sink, I swim
These lungs grow so tight
We are [?]
Losing our minds
Walking back, did how your mighty plays
How your mighty plays you are

[Chorus]
Were you there?
Were you listening?
To the silent need
I need
Do you ever
Say you're proud of me?
Temporary peace
Can leave
Were you there?
Were you listening?
To the silent need
I need
Do you ever
Say you're proud of me
Temporary peace
Can leave

[Bridge]
Did you know that?
Did you know that the end
Oh, won't be easy
Won't be easy to miss

[Verse 2]
A sanctuary
Faith provide me
No one's to know what you had left here
You spent asking questions
So many thoughts I've been holding back
While the nights grow long
And the earth moves side to side
Pulled towards the unchanging waves
The unchanging waves seek me in
To your side

[Chorus]
Were you there?
Were you listening?
To the silent need
I need
Do you ever
Say you're proud of me?
Temporary peace
Can leave
Were you there?
Were you listening?
To the silent need
I need
Do you ever
Say you're proud of me
Temporary peace
Can leave

[Outro]
I-I-I keep my head down 'til you get new
I-I-I forgive what I have done to stay here
And in the fog, winds overtake it all
Back into the fog, I pray, yeah
