Silent So Long

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