There's a quiet little man
and he sits at his window
Doesn't make a sound
but he watches where the wind blows
Wants to go outside
fears wouldn't let him
[Force] a little smile
and the fears come rolling

la la bum bum dum dum dum dum

You can go outside where the sun & the people blind you
You can go outside where the love of the people finds you - it will find you

When he walks through the maze
in the circles of his back place
[While the Jew ] on his roof
is still tieing up his shoelace
He will [never curse] again
all the days on his home spent
Nailing all the doors
& jumping through the window

I am heading for a time of quiet
When my restlessness is past
And I can lie down on my blanket
And release my fists at last

I am heading for a time of solitude
Of peace without illusions
When the perfect circle
Marries all beginnings and conclusions

And when they say
That you're not good enough
Well the answer is
You're not
But who are they
Or what is it
That eats at what you've got
With the hunger of ambition
For the change inside the purse
They are handcuffs on the soul, my friends
Handcuffs on the soul
And worse

I am heading for a place of quiet
Where the sage and sweetgrass grow
By a lake of sacred water
From the mountain's melted snow

Baby says I can't come with him
And I had read all of this in his eyes
Long before he even said so
Why go, I asked
You know and I know why
And it'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything

Take care
I've been hurt before
Too much time spend on closing doors
You may hate me, but I'll remember to love you
Goodbye
Don't cry
You know why
And it'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything

All the waves of blame arrange as broken scenery
As they steal your best memories away
What if I was someone different in your only history?
Would you feel the same
As I walk out the door
Never to see your face again
Never to see your face again

And it'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
It'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything to change when I leave

I'm not yours and your not mine
but we can sit and pass the time

no fighting wars no ringing chimes
were just feeling fine

this is where were supposed to be
sitting by the broken tree
no tragedy no poetry, just staring at the sky.

I could wait a thousand hours
stay the same, in sun and showers
pick apart a hundred flowers
just to be quiet

Tell me when you feel ready
I'm the one there's not too many
hold my hand to keep me steady
just to be quiet

with you-ooh-ooh-ooh
with you-ooh-ooh-ooh

I like it here
beside you dear
you're even more than you appear

And in the clouds my head is clear
every time you say hello

here's my heart and here's my mouth
and I cant help if things come out

cause there are words I want to shout
maybe ill stay low

I could wait a thousand hours
stay the same in sun and showers
pick apart a hundred flowers
just to be quiet

tell me when you feel ready
I'm the one theres not too many
hold my hand to keep me steady
just to be quiet

with you-ooh-ooh-ooh
with you-ooh-ooh-ooh

I'll be the bumble bee behind you baby.
I'll tear up everything inside you, well yeah.
And it stings, and it stings
Sun shines through your openings.
I'll tear up everything inside you.

Hold up, don't say what I think you're gonna say.
Take your time cause I can wait.
It's all on you and I'm not sane.

And if you see my girl could you bring her to me?
She don't like a life with a rock n' roll singer, well yeah.
But we'll spend the rest of our lives in happiness.
I'll wrap this ring around her finger.

Hold up, don't say what I think you're gonna say.
Take your time cause I can wait.
It's all on you and I'm not sane.
You won't see what you mean to me
And you don't feel that you're everything.
For now I'll live with you
Quiet, quiet.

You don't see what you mean to me.
You don't feel like you're everything.
You can take all the time you need.
I hold my breath but I have to breathe.

Hold up, don't say
Hold up, don't say
Hold up, don't say what I think you're gonna say.
Take your time cause I can wait.
It's all on you and I'm not sane.
You won't see what you mean to me
And you don't feel that you're everything.
For now I live with you
Quiet.
Quiet.

When I lie back and close my eyes, it feels like
You're sending love back down to me.
I try to keep you there inside with me,
But you leave and it's so quiet tonight.
Conscience finds a place to hide inside,
Lonely as my thoughts divide tonight,
I hear you, never thought that I'd ever be alone.

She laid right here, right here,
Beside me in this bed.
I can still hear her voice, it echoes in my head.
It's left a hole, a space inside, buried the love,
Shut out the light.
I don't know where to turn.

And all the places that I've seen with you,
What I would give to have you by my side.
I stare at shadows as they twist... calling,
Imagination running wild tonight.
Conscience finds a place to hide inside,
Lonely as my thoughts divide tonight,
I hear you, never thought that I'd ever be alone.

She laid right here, right here,
Beside me in this bed.
I can still hear her voice, it echoes in my head.
It's left a hole, a space inside, buried the love,
Shut out the light.
I don't know where to turn.

I don't know where to turn.

If I let go, how will it end?
If I let go, how will it end?

She laid right here, right here
Beside me in this bed
I can still hear her voice, it echoes in my head

I'll wait for you to come
Cause I'm lost, my will has gone
I don't know which step to take
You're living in my head.

I walk with emptiness
Breathing the loneliness
Tell me where I belong
You're living in my head.

I'll wait for you to come
Cause I'm lost, my will has gone
I don't know which step to take
You're living in my head.
Living in my head...

Quiet
I am sleeping
In here
We need a little hope

For years
I've been sleeping
Helpless
Couldn't tell a soul

Be ashamed
The mess you've made
My eyes never forget, you see
Behind me

Silent
Metal mercies
Castrate
Boys to the bone

Jesus
Are you listening?
Up there
To anyone at all

We are the fossils
The relics of our time
We mutilate the meanings
So they're easy to deny

Be ashamed ...

Quiet
I am sleeping
Quiet
I am sleeping
Quiet
I don't trust you
I can't hear you at all

Be ashamed ...

Behind me
The grace of falling snow
Cover up everything you know
Come save me from the awful sound
Of nothing

So What If I Find A Different Way
To Face The Day

To Hear You Say
You're Wrong
But I'm Right
It's My Song

I'm Running
I'm Flooding

From The Faces
That Won't Try To Fight

From The Places
That Hide In The Night

I'm Stopping
I'm Drowning

How Are You To Know
Which Way To Go

When You Haven't Heard
The Subduing Cries
In My Head

I Know This Has Been Said
But I'm Not Dead Yet

I'm Running
I'm Flooding

From The Faces
That Won't Try To Fight

From The Places
That Hide In The Night

I'm Stopping
I'm Drowning

midnight
lock all the doors
and turn out the lights
feels like the end of the world
this Sunday night

there's not a sound
outside the snow's coming down
and somehow I can't seem to find
the quiet inside my mind

3:02
the space in this room
has turned on me
and all my fears have cornered me here
me and my TV screen

the volume's down
blue lights are dancing around
and still, I can't seem to find
the quiet inside my mind

daylight is climbing the walls
cars start and feet walk the halls
the world awakes and now I am safe
at least by the light of day

Quiet
I am sleeping
in here
We need a little hope

For years
I've been sleeping
Helpless
Couldn't tell a soul

Be ashamed
Of the mess you've made
My eyes never forget, you see
Behind me

Silent
Metal mercies
Castrate
Boys to the bone

Jesus
Are you listening?
Up there
To anyone at all

We are the fossils
The relics of our time
We mutilate the meanings
So they're easy to deny

Be ashamed
Of the mess you've made
My eyes never forget, you see
Behind me

Quiet
I am sleeping
Quiet
I am sleeping
Quiet
I don't trust you
I can't hear you

Be ashamed
Of the mess you've made
My eyes never forget, you see
Behind me

Behind me
The grace of falling snow
Cover up everything you know
Come save me from the awful sound
Of nothing

midnight
lock all the doors
and turn out the lights
feels like the end of the world
this Sunday night

there's not a sound
outside the snow's coming down
and somehow I can't seem to find
the quiet inside my mind

3:02
the space in this room
has turned on me
and all my fears have cornered me here
me and my TV screen

the volume's down
blue lights are dancing around
and still, I can't seem to find
the quiet inside my mind

daylight is climbing the walls
cars start and feet walk the halls
the world awakes and now I am safe
at least by the light of day

I hear what you're not saying
It's driving me crazy
It's like we stopped breathing in this room
We're both the last to be leaving
I know what you're thinking
I wish you'd make your move

It's much too quiet in here
I wanna disapear
I'm hearing myself thinking too clear
It's too quiet in here
Make it all go away
Why can't we break this silence finally

It's like you know where I'm going
You follow me home
But I never invite you inside

I see what you're not showing
I've got you alone but
the air is so still, it's wierd

It's much too quiet in here
I wanna disapear
I'm hearing myself thinking too clear
It's too quiet in here
Make it all go away
Why can't we break this silence finally

Don't stop, don't stop
Telling me goodnight
Just promisse you'll kiss me, goodbye
What's taking so long?
Don't tell me you're not gonna try
The tension's building in my mind
I wanna scream and I know why

It's much too quiet in here
I wanna disapear
I'm hearing myself thinking too clear
It's too quiet in here
Make it all go away
Why can't we break this silence finally

Make it all go away
It's too quiet in here

(feat. The Game)

[22 seconds of instrumental to open]

[Chorus 2X: The Game - singing]
When the sun goes down and them guns come out
Them niggaz that was talkin they won't run they mouth
When them shells start poppin, bodies start droppin
(It's so quiet you can hear a rat pissing on cotton)

[Lil' Kim]
Do you see what I see, can you hear what I hear
All these stu-di-o gangsters, year after year
With these gimiicks I can't take it they ain't real so they fakin it
How did they make it in this game for so long
I know what's right from what's wrong, I know what's soft from what's hard
I know a federal case, from a publicity charge
Man I FOUGHT tooth and NAIL to keep them PUNKS out of JAIL
But hoes wanna go to COURT 'til I pay them for they NAILS
Who you tryin to be? Man it couldn't be me
My man spent guap and bought me my Continental T
You spent your advance on your Continental T
I know you sick when you clean your RIMS you still see a Bee
And we see you a LIAR, tryin to DENY HER
Jackie O. proved you FAR from a FIGHTER
Comin at ME bitch you playin with FIRE
I ain't gon' come back at you, I'm comin at your GHOSTWRITERS

[Chorus]

[Lil' Kim]
I hear 'em talkin like they gangster material
But I don't see it man their gangster's invisible
The hot iron's what them gangsters put into you
'Til you laid up and your gangster's on critical
SHOTS get into you bleedin like my men-e-straul
And if I don't like you then I will pretend to
It's the ones that befriend you that TURN up against you
In the court of law and drop a DIME like Sprint do
Supposed to be tough huh? 'Til them boys touch ya
Chump muh'fuckers start confessin like Usher
I cut you off cause I knew I couldn't trust ya
Lame ass bustas, backwards-ass hustlers
You fake phony, you always was lil' homey
Big lil' son bab' boy like Jody
I put you under my wing, bought you your first Roley
Nigga I helped raised you, why would I play you?

[Chorus]

[Lil' Kim]
You see it always be them ones talkin this and that
How they knife game ILL and they gun go CLAP
Them niggaz rats, they run and they trap
'Til they run in a trap, and there's no comin back
It be the SAME ones talkin 'bout the guns they sparkin
The dogs never bite but do a whole lotta barkin
A whole lotta growlin 'til the wolves start howlin
They pitbull shit, man them niggaz straight cowards
Got 'em scared to death, pissin in they trousers
Always was a bitch that's why I sent his ass flowers
Thanks to the Queen he can share 'em with his team
You can run top speed BUT YOU CAN'T DODGE THE BEAM
Got a CLEAN 16 and my spit game mean
Don't be fooled and deceived, everything ain't what it seems
You act like you don't know what side of town this realer
Niggaz softer than chinchillas but on wax they killers

[Chorus - 1/2]

Baby says I can't come with him
And I had read all of this in his eyes
Long before he even said so
Why go, I asked
You know and I know why
And it'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything

Take care
I've been hurt before
Too much time spend on closing doors
You may hate me, but I'll remember to love you
Goodbye
Don't cry
You know why
And it'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything

All the waves of blame arrange as broken scenery
As they steal your best memories away
What if I was someone different in your only history?
Would you feel the same
As I walk out the door
Never to see your face again
Never to see your face again

And it'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
It'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything to change when I leave
