lyrics

In the silence I was born
Keep the secret, solemnly sworn
As the night settled in, demons began to stir
All things stayed as they were

In the pale winter morning
There's no song for the birds to sing
Wishing that summer would bring back it's thunder
All things stayed as they were

Out of anger and endless pride
You spilled right over, bottled up inside
So what holds more water; love or being sure?
All things stayed as they were

Drink the poison, sit and wait
For them to perish, but that's your fate
Feeling extra dizzy, memory starts to blur
All things stayed as they were
