Pray for them I often loose track So I took a drag of my first cigarrette and I found my head Roll down the dumps of twenty seventh street I drew a sketch with lipstick and sidewalk of Newports edge Legoblock cliffs and an ocean that doesn't deserve the sounds of silence I'd swear on a dead artists grave I found a spot where the drunk never got to And it rocks me gently silent, silent If I never surface then it doesn't matter Hold my breath It's silent, silent, now Diligent Escape by the water Not sick of it It only gets harder That's no excuse to block all the cliches and reason for kicks He strokes her hair both sitting on sand and her shoulders bare nothing to demand of them laying back on a lonely stone wall and passersby look passed it all I found a spot where the drunk never got to And it rocks me gently silent, silent If I never surface then it doesn't matter Hold my breath It's silent, silent (guitar solo) I found a spot where the drunk never got to It rocks me gently silent, silent If I never surface then it doesn't matter Hold my breath It's silent, silent, now
