MR SILENT (for BRETT)

from DEMOS by Rick Berlin

/

about

My sister Janie once told me that some guy at a party who was watching her even as she felt out of place and shy that she 'said more by saying nothing then most of the loud mouths storming away'. When I first met Brett, that's how he seemed to me as well.

lyrics

MR SILENT

mr silent
you say so much
w/ yr eyes
you sit there
watching everything
never missing
a beat
monster of the deep

+ me im wild eyed + nervous
wanting too much
to please

shh...
the room goes deaf
faces freeze
my heart feel like a dervish in a dress
sequins
dancing on the walls

shh...shh...

my elbows are sharp
+ your world is
true

shh...
