Silent

When we brought you home in the car

I had no inkling of just how far

The plates of our continents would crack

There can be no turning back

There can be no turning back

In some dumb maternal cell

I saw home, you see Hell

Always silent now

And I didn't understand how

The times that I thought would last

Are a shattered dream of a past

I saw home and you saw Hell

And the ties that I destroyed

Like all those ugly violent boys

I was hurting, but I was Hell

And the ties that I destroyed

Like those ugly violent boys

I was hurting, but I was Hell
