slowly grind away the innocence
if you can hide the evidence
erase the photographs
if you can choke down the laughs
advertise the bruises and the lows
cause you know it never shows
it’s too late to let it in
when it’s under your skin
why’d you take the long way round
going nowhere
i heard you tried to make a sound
out of dead air
your silence is murder
know when to walk away
the only way that i know how to be
is slowly killing me
but i keep it in my coat
or maybe stuffed down my throat
apologize for every breath you take
cause the world is what we make
to slowly blur the line
between the out and inside
did you take what you deserve
and then some
and didn’t catch a single word
above the bedlam
your silence is murder
know when to walk away
these confessions are worthless
a dozen a dime
a drop of blood in the sea
so serious, so serious
can you honestly tell me
that there is nothing more to say?
slowly grind away the innocence
