Quiet After Violence - David Myles

Well I would have been dead

If I hadn’t have said

That I needed more time

Getting used to this line of work

I work so hard, I work so hard, I work so hard

So I stayed there all night on Saturday

Would have been all alone home anyway

I was alright, I was alright

Til I woke up Sunday morning

No one driving, no one phoning me

To tell me what was wrong, what was wrong

I knew something was wrong

By the city’s silence

There’s always quiet after violence

(Can you hear it? Cause I can’t hear it…)

I will admit I was scared

I wasn’t fully prepared

To see what lay around the corner

Didn’t know if it was only a daydream or a nightmare

What would I see when I went there

I didn’t know, I didn’t know, I didn’t know

Til I woke up Sunday morning

No one driving, no one phoning me

To tell me what was wrong, what was wrong, what was wrong

I knew something was wrong

By the city’s silence

There’s always quiet after violence

(Can you hear it? Cause I can’t hear it…)

Is this the first of the last

Is this my future or my past

Is this the first day or the last day of my life

Is this the first of the last

Is this my future or my past

Is this the first day or the last day of my life

(Can you hear it? Cause I can’t hear it…)
