Quiet Surrender Lyrics

Snapped a twig and found wires inside

Scratching noises in the walls

They call them roof rats

Laid out the big traps

Aim messages at the unreachable man



There is something in my walls

I can hear it move and crawl

Like a giant secret thought

Always near but never caught

Never caught



These are the days we'll never remember

These are the days that we'll never remember



Dead castle and the traffic it slows

Know the melody your enemy hums?

It isn't love we're feeling

Fallen ceiling

So leave the good men out tonight

The hero's ready for his fight

In his car he'll disappear

Into nighttime far from here

It might be years



These are the days we'll never remember

These are the days that we'll never remember

These are the days of the quiet surrender



Oh my friend

We'll never go back there again

Got to get out where something's happening

We're not winning alone



Oh it's time

Yeah it's time
