Be still, my obstinate heart For in the silence present Between pairs of parted lips Your cacophony will be my ruin Desist in your perpetuous clamor For in the peace of dreams Given life and limb T'is only you who will wake me Lean upon my feign-ed strength With your thunderous cries He who will not mind thee Is thee to soon become Countenance is made weak Beneath the percussion Of heart meeting Tender embrace Breath rendered purposeless In heart's response Within my being When he speaks Be still, my obstinate heart For amongst the calm of my nature Between its silence and wanting Your cacophony will be my ruin

Be Still, My Obstinate Heart
Be still, my obstinate heart For in the silence present Between pairs of parted lips Your cacophony will be my ruin Desist in your perpetuous clamor For in the peace of dreams Given life and limb T'is only you who will wake me Lean upon my feign-ed strength With your thunderous cries He who will not mind thee Is thee to soon become Countenance is made weak Beneath the percussion Of heart meeting Tender embrace Breath rendered purposeless In heart's response Within my being When he speaks Be still, my obstinate heart For amongst the calm of my nature Between its silence and wanting Your cacophony will be my ruin
