Silently (Remastered 2021) - Maxwell

I read it all every word And I still don't understand a thing What had you heard? What had you heard, was it love? Was it take another walk in the dark? You'll never learn I'd pray to God if there was heaven But heaven seems so very far from here And it all boils down to the same thing Just a yin and a yang or a couple of pipe dreams And it all boils down to the same old pain Whether you win or you lose isn't gonna change a single thing I stood in line and a thought crossed my mind I had been dreaming but I didn't mind I signed the line and the woman looked right through me She didn't smile I'd pray to God if there was heaven But heaven seems so very far from here And it all boils down to the same old thing Just a yin and a yang or a couple of pipe dreams And it all boils down to the same old pain Whether you win or you lose isn't gonna change a single thing I'd pray to God if there was heaven But heaven seems so very far from here And it all boils down to the same old thing Just a yin and a yang or a couple of pipe dreams And it all boils down to the same old pain Whether you win or you lose isn't gonna change a single thing And it all boils down to the same old fear Just a link in a chain just a puppet on a string And it all boils down to the same old fear Whether you win or lose Whether you win or lose Whether you win or lose Whether you win or lose

Rain on the brain Now there's flowers in your window She, well, she's so strange I don't know anything about her But if it's all the same to you Here's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna write a song Gonna sing it to everyone And then I'll sing it to you 'Cause it was you that wrote it too This could be the last train Search within yourself for feelings Everybody's got them You left me on the shelf And no there's no one to rely on But if it's all the same to you Here's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna buy a gun Gonna shoot everything everyone And then I'm coming for you 'Cause it was you that drove me to This could be the last train Rear window with the room in the hair And on her jacket there's a picture in white of Che Guevara As he sits beneath the tree But that's not important But he looked a bit like me If you took all the little feelings in your heart And took all those little feelings all apart Oh well, now what's the point in doing all of that?

You broke the bread We drank the wine Your lip was bleedin' but it was fine Come on inside, babe Across the line I love you more than I But then this bird just flew away She was never meant to stay Oh, to keep her caged Would just delay the spring You broke your word Now that's a lie We had a deal that you would try Come on inside girl I think it's time High time we drew the line But then this bird just flew away While I looked the other way Oh, to keep her caged Would just delay the spring You broke my soul, dear You stole the plot You left an empty shot There's nothing left here 'Cause you took the lot An empty cage is all I've got 'Cause when your bird has flown away She was never meant to stay Oh, to keep her caged Would just delay the spring To keep her caged Would just delay the spring

Dear diary What is wrong with me? 'Cause I'm fine between the lines Be not afraid Help is on its way A sentence suspended in air Way over there Dear diary What else could it be? As nightshade descends like a veil Under the sail of my heart Be still, don't stop until the end Dear diary What is wrong with me? 'Cause I'm fine between the lines
