Quiet Hell /  Warm Stone Solace

[Intro]
Oh oh
Mmm
Oh yeah

[Verse 1]
Four walls
New dust settles on the plastic chairs
A father made of whiskey and some empty glares
Deep stares
Watching her move like he shouldn't look
My body took the hit of every rule he broke

[Pre-Chorus]
Mama is a ghost
Mama is a shadow
Mama is a hollow frame

[Chorus]
Better to have never been
Better to have never been
The stone is warm against my palm
The quiet before the ending of the calm
Better to have never been

[Verse 2]
Stains stay
Scrubbing at the floors until the skin turns red
Wishing every single word remained unsaid
Dead head
Mom is folding laundry while the sky goes gray
The heavy clouds are pushing all the light away

[Pre-Chorus]
She doesn't see
She doesn't know
She doesn't feel the weight

[Chorus]
Better to have never been
Better to have never been
The stone is warm against my palm
The quiet before the ending of the calm
Better to have never been

[Bridge]
It is not for me
It is not for my pride
It is not for my own skin
To save her from the monster
To save her from the rot
To save her from the dark that we forgot

[Chorus]
Better to have never been
Better to have never been
The stone is warm against my palm
The quiet before the ending of the calm
Better to have never been

[Post-Chorus]
Better better
Never never
Better better
Never never
