He Took The Silence

He pretended he was dead

Said hail mary in his head but he still got the kick again

And when there was nothing left but ash and smoke

He raised himself up and looked at the world he still wanted to live in

Some more

Though everything he loved was gone

Though everything he loved was gone

All he could do was walk down that road

It was muddy and winding in the night

He wore shredded clothes

He thinks that maybe someday he'd look back on this as his secret

Secret

They might see pieces in his eyes or never wonder why

Everything he loved was gone

Everything he loved was gone

Come closer to the light

She'll have no questions

She'll just help you inside

Everything he loved was gone

Everything he loved was gone
