Telling the Hour

Oh be still, oh be quiet,
 Let the sun fade into night.
 ♪
 No sounds, no light.
 Like flies in a jar, we are mostly harmless.
 ♪
 Give me whiskey, give me wine,
 And an unfaithful sky.
 ♪
 Give me scars so dark
 I will have no choice but to remember.
 ♪
 Punish me with the cruelest summer
 ♪
 And let regret swell inside.
 Let it strike, let it strike my body fast
 Like a king cobra, let it take over.
 ♪
 It will be quicker than any movement
 Our bodies could offer.
 ♪
 Punish me with the cruelest summer.
 ♪
 Terrify me with silence.
 Make me desperate.
 ♪
 Let me wake alone, make me cry rivers.
 ♪
 You can rest your head at night
 Knowing I deserved this.
 ♪
 Black flies in a jar,
 I am mostly harmless,
 
 Except for this vanishing hour of darkness.
