Quiet - Lauren Auder

Something unsightly

A love to lick each other’s sores

With you, I grew big and mighty

Small and infinitely yours

You want bound so tightly

Enough for others' joys, of course

You take it so lightly

It’s not your hang ups for sure

I tell you when I’m stronger

You can keep me here forever

They’ll wish that you’d wait longer, knowing

Maybe you would do better

But could they cut it up, break it all down

For you

'Cause we could talk about it

If you wanted to

'Cause we could cut it up

Break it all down for you

We both know it’s something

The quiet life has no appeal

So now we must face love

For now we must mak the rules

So whatevr’s left plunging through your spine is

Where I’ll nail

You call it an otter

I’ll call it a deal

I tell you when I’m stronger

You can keep me here forever

They’ll wish that you’d wait longer, knowing

Maybe you would do better

But could they cut it up, break it all down

For you

'Cause we could talk about it

If you wanted to

'Cause we could cut it up

Break it all down for you

I tell you when I’m stronger

You can keep me here forever

They’ll wish that you’d wait longer, knowing

Maybe you would do better

But could they cut it up, break it all down

For you

'Cause we could talk about it

If you wanted to

'Cause we could cut it up

Break it all down for you
