Fable of the Silent Son

Lost where we can't escape

Blind to our own decay

Lamenting when we can't let go

Until we heal, we die alone

We hope that it's not too late

I used to lie awake

And sing this song

Fear is a hollow place

A dark beyond

The coldest season that

I've ever known

But it's over now

I've learned from my mistakes

Times have changed

And I have changed

It's hard to recognize the person that I was

But a wasted life is still worth saving

I was too scared to fight

Forgiveness wouldn't come

But it's over now

I've learned from my mistakes

But it's over now

I've learned from my mistakes

Times have changed

Those were the darkest days

I never will return

This I confess so you may learn

Convey the truth, the pain

So you won't have to hurt

Please never second guess these words

Like a phoenix rising from the dust

I've come to lift you up

Like a new day dawning from above in turn

So you may you learn

A lesson from the things I've done

A fable of the silent son

And buried way below

We have our deep regrets

With waves of anger to respect

We face our demons with intentions to protect

Our future angels for what's next

Like a phoenix rising from the dust

I've come to lift you up

Like a new day dawning from above in turn

So you may you learn

A lesson from the things I've done

A fable of the silent son

A warning of the things to come

Foreshadowing the end for some

Who dare and lose it all

A fable of the silent son

A warning of the things to come

Forgive me for the things I've done

I could have lost it all

I used to lie awake

And sing this song

Fear is the hollow place

A dark beyond

The coldest season that

I've ever known

But it's over now

I've learned from my mistakes

But it's over now

I've learned from my mistakes

Like a phoenix rising from the dust

I've come to lift you up

Like a new day dawning from above in turn

So you may you learn

A lesson from the things I've done

A fable of the silent son

A fable of the silent son

A fable of the silent son
