Silent All These Years

excuse me but can i be you for a while

my dog won't bite you if you sit real still

i got the anti-christ in the kitchen yellin at me again

yeah i can hear that been saved again by the garbage truck

i got something to say you know but nothing comes

yes i know what you think of me you never shut up

yeah i can hear that but what if i'm a mermaid

in these jeans of his with her name still on it hey

but i don't care

cause somtimes i said sometimes

i hear my voice and it's been

here

silent all these years

so you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts

what's so amazing about really deep thoughts

boy you best pray that i bleed real soon

how's that thought for ya

my scream got lost in a paper cup

you think ther s heaven where some

screams have gone

i got 25 bucks and cracker do you think it's enough

to get us there cause

what if i'm a mermaid

in these jeans of his with her name still on it hey

but

i don't care cause sometimes

i said sometimes

i hear my voice and it's been here

silent all these years

go by will i still be waiting for somebody else to understand

years go by will i'm stripped of my beauty and the orange cloud raining in my head

years go by will i choke on my tears till finally there is nothing left

one more casualty you know we're too easy

easy easy

well i love the way we communicate

your eyes focus on my funny lip shape

let's hear what you think of me now

but baby don't look up

the sky is falling

your mother shows up in a nasty dress

it's your turn now to stand where i stand

everybody lookin' at you

here take a hold of my hand

yeah i can hear them

but what if i'm a mermaid

in these jeans of yours with her name still on it hey

but i don't care cause sometimes i said sometimes

i hear my voice i hear my voice

and it's been

here

silent all these years

i've been here

silent all these years

silent all these years

silent all these years
