Rated: E · Lyrics · Other · #1647442
a song about frustration over the silence of others
there's a secret in this static
like a channel on the tv
we talk like squares for hours
like beggars we can't choose
I swore upon the sunlight
I wouldn't hurt like this again
there just ain't no lonely soul
who wants back where he's been

say something you coward
you bloody-faced angel
make me understand
just where this went wrong

there's a demon in the mattress
he waits for me to sleep
he catches all my hidden glances
and his secrets I will keep
I trip over a mountain
I don't see it standing there
sadness in my veins
ripe with my despair

say something you weakling
you waitress of death
make me understand
just where I went wrong

and I hate the way that smile reaches your lips
like a victory lap of deprivation, oh God it goes
you're bread for the hungry, water for my tired throat
a pull and tug and it all just tumbles down

say something you bastard
promises withered far away
just you try and make me understand, you should
make me understand
