Only Son – 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
