a song about repressing memories |
Fall silent: These are the hands that dropped you The feet that turned and run The knee that was always bending Like words upon my tongue Fall silent: These are the eyes that saw you And the head that turned away The burning eyes that pierced inside you And the face that faces away Silence, Do not listen Blame them, so you can get away Fall silent: These are the thoughts that snared you And the words you wouldn’t speak That grew and grew inside you Like a serpent in the deep Fall silent: This is the heart that beat you With many strokes across your back The steady thump that thumped inside you As you fell under the attack We are the way, we are the light We are the candle in the night The day that your dreams awoke The frabjous day locust spoke We are the way, we are the light We are the candle in the night The day that your dreams awoke The frabjous day locust spoke Spiral pathway inside to a place that can’t be remembered Close the last way with a lie, sealing those distant chambers [Screams] drifting through the air, they are soon forgotten [Screams] you were not ever there, memory hollows and rotten Silence, Do not listen Blame them, so you can get away (solo) (spoken word-) "Men die nightly in their beds, wringing the hands of ghostly confessors, and looking them piteously in the eyes-die with despair of heart and convulsion of throat, on account of the hideousness of mysteries which will not suffer themselves to be revealed. Now and then, alas, the conscience of man takes up a burden so heavy in horror that it can be thrown down only into the grave. And thus the essence of all crime is undivulged.”- E A Poe Fall silent: This is the memory that failed you Wouldn’t forget so easily In your dreams you’re always watching See it all so lazily Fall silent: In your dreams your always falling And when you wake you feel the same You can't understand what you’ve done But you know you are to blame We are the way, we are the light We are the candle in the night The day that your dreams awoke The frabjous day locust spoke We are the way, we are the light We are the candle in the night The day that your dreams awoke The frabjous day locust spoke |
