Bilingual
I've been asleep for most of my life
To the things that I want, I am chained tight
And it's true that the punishment, oh, it must fit the crime
ย
Some call this living, I'm just doing time
And with lungs filled with water, or lungs filled with smoke
We must learn to sing the words we once spoke
In the midst of our seasons, wearing death like a crown
We must learn to walk lightly on delicate ground
As the earth turns below us on an axis of time
That only moves forward as we beg to rewind
The tape at the end of our vaporous lives
Will it show what we wanted, or that we just learned to tell a few lies?
While we were alive
ย
Well, I've been asleep for most of my life
To the pain I have caused, I remain blind
ย
And I've played the victim one too many times
And I have my reasons, but it still isn't right
Like cathedrals built on slow, sinking sand
Well, so is the life of a resentful man
We must learn to walk backwards through our passage of time
And forsake our demons and idols alike
Cause if your god's in a building, then your god is a stone
And I'm sure there are things that I'll never know
But despite how far I wander, I can still hear 'em sing
The ballad of life and of death, it is ringing
ย
What is known is not for us
ย
Does not the father guide the son?
ย
With speaking up, I am done
ย
Quiet my heart, quiet my tongue
ย
Come speak in the silence
ย
Come speak in the silence
ย
Come speak in the silence
Come speak in the silence
Come speak in the silence
Come speak in the silence
Come speak in the silence
Come speak in the silence
Come speak in the silence
Come speak in the silence
Silence, silence
Come speak in the silence
Come speak in the silence
Come speak in the silence
Come speak in the silence
Silence, silence
Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh
