Silent Tongues

(Intro)

(Instrumental Building-Up)

(Verse 1)

I’m tracing scars left by whispers in the hallway

You paint me black and blue then ask me if I’m okay

Every sorry is a ghost, yeah, it’s hollow

Feeding me the bitterness you want me to swallow

I’m drowning in the static of a thousand opinions

Building up my walls, guarding my dominions

(Chorus)

Wounds of words never heal easily

I’m bleeding out from things you said so breezily

I’d rather cut their tongues than listen to these fools, you see?

Lock the door, burn the key, leave the rest to me!

Yeah, the silence is a symphony!

(Verse 2)

Sticks and stones?

Nah, that’s a lie they sold us

The ink is permanent, the air is getting cold plus

I see the way you move, parasitic and plastic

My patience is a wire and you’re pulling the elastic

Click, snap.

Now the room goes dark

You left the matches, I provided the spark.

(Bridge)

Say it again.

Go ahead, say it again.

Make it hurt like you mean it...

JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

(Chorus)

Wounds of words never heal easily

I’m bleeding out from things you said so breezily

I’d rather cut their tongues than listen to these fools, you see?

Lock the door, burn the key, leave the rest to me!

(Outro)

Fools, you see...

They’re just fools, you see...
