lyrics

Violent words with violent ends

Speak now or forever hold your breath
I have lingered for so long in my bitterness
Choruses echo in the halls of our minds
We turn our backs to leave it all behind

And now you’re bound to the weight of your decisions
These violent words often have violent ends
Violent words often have violent ends

So we bury ourselves to just break away, from the suffering
Inflictions will tell what these scars will not say, this silence deafens me

Can you hear their voices whispering?
The awful things they’ve heard about you
Although it’s not the truth it’s entertaining
So just let the serpents with their wicked tongues
Slither off and have their fun
As their cigarettes bring them to their death

So we bury ourselves to just break away, from the suffering
Inflictions will tell what these scars will not say, this silence deafens me

Just take your time
What have we become?
Hate fills your eyes
You’ve taken away everything
But here I stand
