Otis just wants to be loved
Sleep and dream of a second chance
Eartha's a grown up
Already scared of feeding from loving hands
In a strange house with two front doors
While a false love plays on tv
I lost myself and this week to the floor
Where Otis and Eartha found me
Otis has seen 'em draw blood
Cover it up downstairs
He's terrified of closed doors
And how it was before he learned that strangers care
Eartha watches from above
Her happy place is a lonely chair
She's long forgot what's worth dreaming of
And can't sleep unless you're there
It's quieter here
Everybody copes by never being alone
It's quieter here
Watching the flood
Otis makes me stay
Keeps us warm in a darker place
He screams when there's nothing left to say
Using your voice is just a question of taste
Eartha sees who we are
A billboard made of stars
Concerned where the man-made lights are
She knows it's not supposed to be this hard
It's quieter here
Nobody's in pain if you don't give it a name
It's quieter here
Watching the flood
Someone have mercy, I don't fit under my skin oh
Someone have mercy, I don't fit under my skin
Someone have mercy, I don't fit under my skin oh
Someone have mercy, I don't fit under my skin
Someone have mercy (Someone have mercy)
I don't fit under my skin oh (I don't fit under my skin oh)
Someone have mercy (Someone have mercy)
I don't fit under my skin (I don't fit under my skin)
Someone have mercy (Someone have mercy)
I don't fit under my skin oh (I don't fit under my skin oh)
Someone have mercy, I (Someone have mercy, I don't fit under my skin)
Mercy, I (Someone have mercy)
Begging mercy (I don't fit under my skin, oh)
Someone (Someone have mercy)
Oh- (I don't fit under my skin)
Under my skin (Someone have mercy)
Oh-oh-oh (I don't fit under my skin, oh)
Someone have mercy (Someone have mercy)
I don't fit under my skin (I don't fit under my skin)
It's quieter here
Nothing is the same once you learn to love again
It's quieter here
Watching the flood
