Chewed the bone down too low Got fed on tea and sympathy Blew the sail like the wind I wish you were my enemy I was humble for you What a fool I've been to have laid so low for so long So long Into that void of silence Where we cry without sound Where tears roll down Where tears roll down And where your mother's violence Sent your soul underground Where tears roll down Where tears roll down Drew the blade way too slow Was shackled by your honesty Made a mess, I guess I have should have known That life was lust and liberty Not a chance mutation or the last temptation Laid so low for so long so low Into that void of silence Where we cry without sound Where tears roll down Where tears roll down And where your mother's violence Sent your soul underground Where tears roll down Where tears roll down Into that void of silence Where we cry without sound Where tears roll down Where tears roll down And where your mother's violence Sent your soul underground Where tears roll down Where tears roll down
