Lucas Laufen - I Know Where Silence Lives

I know where silence lives
Way up North where the border meets the West
Fifteen feet above the sea
Wind will come and the cold keeps telling me
It knows who silence is
A decade ago I could paint my whole face in it
Hidden black behind my knees
Looking to a window
To ten more in front of me

I know running is wrong
But I'm gonna run anyway
If leaving was wrong
Why did happiness follow me?

I know where silence sleeps
Way down South where the cloud line meets the cliffs
Wandering down toward the beach
Where rivers will run and the stars keep telling me
They know where silence is
I hope he's on that boat
With my mother in Budapest
Not wasting time on the street
But headed for the hills
Where I'll remake my memories

I know running is wrong
But I'm all out of words to say
If leaving was wrong
Why did happiness follow me?
Don't grieve this too long
It's a waste of your life to pray
Selfish, I know
But I'm selfish in many ways

I'll dream seven years below the sea
Covered from the storm where the world won't trouble me
