lyrics

Summoning my ghosts just to hear them sing
Claw between my ribs so I can feel something
Who knows now what they hide? I don't pay them mind
Not convinced its better just to stay alive a little bit longer

Eating from your hand just to fill this void
'cause going it alone has left me paranoid
The questions that I ask of the universe
are met with empty laughing and mangled curses

I'm just looking for a quiet exit
A break where I can take my leave
I just wanna know where the end is
I can't seem to let it rest in peace

Filling exit bags in my damaged brain
Lead me to the slaughter where I'll die in vain
I will take your silence like a starting gun
A voice inside says "run boy run"

I'm just looking for a quiet exit
A break where I can take my leave
I just wanna know where the end is
I can't seem to let it rest in peace

Don't let it rest now

If every single bone returns to the ground
The words of kings and peasants make the same damn sound
Then I have faith that everything will come back down

I'm just looking for a quiet exit
A break where I can take my leave
I just wanna know where the end is
I can't seem to let it
I can't seem to let it
I'm done looking for a map to guide me
I'm done begging for my lungs to breathe
Every minute here feels like dying
You can't seem to let me rest

in peace

I'm just looking for a quiet exit
Let me rest
I'm just looking for a quiet place to die
