lyrics

This is the sound of somber silence
I can’t stand a man’s touch
Due to a choice made
Under your blurred vision
I’m incapable of loving like a human must

I can’t stop and I can’t go
I can’t go on, I can’t go on
Is this what you wanted
Is this what you wanted
Wanted from me, wanted from me, wanted from me

The lake’s filled with water
And I’m filled with blue
You’re laying crooked like you wanted to
I can’t stop and I can’t go
I can’t go on, I can’t go on
I can’t go on
I can’t go on

I am bird calls
You are a falconer with just one hand
You cry for a lamppost
I cry for things I don’t understand

I can’t stop and I can’t go
I can’t go on, I can’t go on
Is this what you wanted
Is this what you wanted
Wanted from me, wanted from me, wanted from me

The lake’s filled with water and I’m filled with blue
You’re laying crooked like you wanted to
I can’t stop and I can’t go
I can’t go on, I can’t go on
I can’t go on

I am dust
And I am beak
And I hold the braid
I’ve been touched
But I’m not weak
I’ll cut hair by hair
’til you go away

I can’t stop and I can’t go
I can’t go on, I can’t go on
Is this what you wanted
Is this what you wanted
Wanted from me, wanted from me, wanted from me

The lake’s filled with water
And I’m filled with red
You’re laying crooked just like you said you would
I can’t stop and I can’t go
I can’t go on, I will go on
I will go on
I will go on

This is the sound of somber silence
