Silent Extinction Songtext
von Jesca Hoop

Each time I put my heart into it
The fruit grows bitter on the vine
I dare not ask for explanations
I let our love vanish in silent extinction

Silent extinction happens all the time

The baby must keep you quite busy
There′s only so much room in the limelight
The hearts of your confidants are all spoken for
Or you have heard something and changed your mind (silent extinction)

Silent extinction happens
Silent extinction
Silent extinction happens
Silent extinction
Silent extinction happens all the time

(Elephant, elephant, elephant, elephant, elephant)
(Elephant, elephant, elephant, elephant, elephant)


Now, one by one, the prairie fire became a barren desert
Slow-disappearing gold and green
Now a sudden empty, sudden vast, sudden lonely desert
When I was a child that river ran

I heard your new song on the radio
I know you're talking about me (silent extinction)
You′re wrong if you think that I was raised right
I know we're both cursed with jealousy

I unfollowed all your social media
It made me feel like a peeping tom
I don't want subscriptions to your magazines
I wanted your love (silent extinction)

Silent extinction happens
Silent extinction
Silent extinction happens
Silent extinction
Silent extinction happens
Silent extinction

Silent extinction happens
Silent extinction
Silent extinction happens
Silent extinction
Silent extinction happens all the time
