The Silence

Why do I deserve the science to feel better about you

At a loss I lost my cool

I denied that I found you

I tried to be a basket case

I did not surprise you

I'm trying to find a signal fire

Let me know when I should move

But you amplified in the silence

Justified in the way you make me bruise

Magnified in the science

Anatomically proved that you don't need me

Why do I desire the space

I was mourning after you

I was lost and lost my shape

There was nothing I could do

I don't want to waste away

It was all I gave to you

Take me back and take my place

I will rise right up for you

But you amplified in the silence

Justified in the way you make me bruise

Magnified in the science

Anatomically proved that you don't need me

All the while you waste away you're asking

Did I really need another one to take me down

Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling

Nobody's gonna tear you down now

There is nothing you keep there is only your reflection

There was nothing but quiet retractions

And families pleading don't look in that cabinet

There's far more bad than there's good

I don't know how it got there

That was something your father had burned in me

Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity

You can go anywhere but you are where you came from

Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry

There is nothing but darkness and agony

I can not only see but you stopped me from blinking

Let me watch you as close as a memory

Let me hold you above all the misery

Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
