lyrics

I was born on a wire
baptized too young
I was taught to hold a gun before I learned my own name

my daddy was an angry wasp
an impossible equation
he had a high school education and a star fish to tame

nobody listens to the quiet songs

everybody knew I was a dark kind of kid
I cut my words on my lips my peers didn’t know
and they were always talking
I can still hear them now
I was different somehow- I was born into this

nobody listens to the quiet songs

I was older when I learned that you gotta yell
and summon some hell
if you want to be heard

it is not a god-given right to be alive
you’ve got to fight
and if you play your hand well, you might get into heaven

nobody listens to the quiet songs

and I got scared when you were dying
it changed the melody for me
between the stones we threw to keep ourselves from crying
and the soft moments composed of unsung harmonies

I didn’t think that things would be perfect
I just thought you would listen
I just thought you would hear

lying their all fragile and hurting,
I imagined it different
I imagined you cared in the ways I needed you to

you sang for me
but I sang for you too
