Lyrics

This is a song of silence turned to steel
A shadow blade that cuts and leaves no mark
What's sought to break now bends beneath my will
I've learned its power and added my own spark
You showed how silence can turn into blade
It pierced my heart and quieted my pleas
Your blade became a teacher cruelly made
Its cure revealed a darker side in me
I'm not the man you thought I was back then
I've learned from you, yeah, silence I now bend
You taught me how, regardless of its cost
To sit in silence so others might feel lost
Goddamn you
No, thank you
You taught me somehow
I'm different, it's crazy
How good I am now
I learned that still can be both quick and bold
That kindness kept can be a conscious choice
Though I won't hurt the tender I withhold
But pressed by some, I'll strike without a noise
I'm not the man you thought I was back then
I've learned from you, yeah, silence I now bend
You taught me how, regardless of its cost
To sit in silence so others might feel lost
Goddamn you
No, thank you
You taught me somehow
I'm different, it's crazy
How good I am now
Your silence schooled me in a quiet art
To hide my presence, thus cutting off their air
I speak through absence and let them fall apart
And stay my voice from words that offer care
I'm not the man you thought I was back then
I've learned from you, yeah, silence I now bend
You taught me how, regardless of its cost
To sit in silence so others might feel lost
Goddamn you
No, thank you
You taught me somehow
I'm different, it's crazy
How good I am now
So here I stand, the lesson cut in stone
A quiet voice, a blade that I now hone
You pulled away when feelings got too deep
And taught me silence says more than one who speaks
No words required, baby
