No More Words
{ words & music by Simon Spire }
*
Plan another face
Wait until it’s safe
Build a story and I’ll stay out of sight
Hour later on
Take another page
Into the night
*
Forget the words they’re sinking in gravity
We can’t wait forever until the end
No more words ’cause it’s now or it’s never then
Blink and it’s gone
*
I’m counting numbers till I’m ready to walk outside
It’s never safe until you know and you know it well
If I could see then I’d be with you wouldn’t I
And if my eyes were open then I’d leave it all now
*
Forget the words they’re sinking in gravity
We can’t wait forever until the end
No more words ’cause it’s now or it’s never then
Blink and it’s gone
*
And the time is never right for a taste of life, no, it flies
So no more waiting for permission to shine
I’ll take the map and the plan and drop them out of my hands so
What am I waiting for? I’m looking everywhere but at the open door
*
Forget the words they’re sinking in gravity
We can’t wait forever until the end
No more words ’cause it’s now or it’s never then
Blink and it’s gone
*
And it’s all
In the blink of an eye
Just an eighty-year life
But can we sit with the scars revealed under the light?
And I’ll tell all my secrets
But please don’t fade into the background
Keep it all plainly in sight
Don’t say a word oh no don’t
Don’t say a word – I won’t
