Silent So Long Lyrics

I tell you when to speak
To get up from your seat
You're wearing the letter, abettor
See what you've done to me

I know there's nothing left to be
I know there is no use
There is no forever and ever
Can't fix what once was whole

It used to follow me wherever
Like vines that grew
I'd run to hold myself together
Like vines that grew

Silent so long
After the wait
After I'm on my own
I illuminate

Below the strong are weak
What talked has turned to meat
I let it get redder and redder
What tore inside of me

Alone I'm my enemy
Alone I see the truth
I know that together or severed
I'll dig out from the hole

It used to follow me wherever
Like vines that grew
I'd run to hold myself together
Like vines that grew

Silent so long
After the wait
After I'm on my own
I illuminate
