Silent Creatures

Tell your son he's the one
There aren't that many of the fortunate ones
Who hold the key to their own voice
Tell me a story of the one who had a choice
I have fought through all the doors
To get to a place that took him three steps, maybe four
If I am cursed, then aren't we all?
We're all the same shadows falling over every wall
And I envy how he talks
Even envy all his flaws
Wanna be one of the boys
How I wish I had a voice
In this town I'm living in
In this town I'm living in
This is the last time I will call to you my darling
This is the last time I will speak to you at all
This is the only time I'll linger in my silence
Until you know what it's like to be unknown
We have come from all around
To watch an unwanted little shadow on the sun
To bring us home, do we belong?
Or are we the silent creatures roaming on our own
How I envy how you sleep
And I envy all your peace
How I wish I had something that would make me feel complete
I don't like how you say please
Cause you can still take everything
Even though I have nothing that you'd ever want from me
In this home I'm living in
In this home I'm living in
This is the last time I will call to you my darling
This is the last time I will speak to you at all
This is the only time I'll linger in my silence
Until you know what it's like
Cause I have envied how you speak
Even envied how you weep
So loud, so proud
But no one ever hears me
And I don't like how you say please
Cause you can still take everything
Even though I have nothing that you'd ever want from me
In this heart living in me
In this heart living in me
This is the last time I will call to you my darling
This is the last time I will speak to you at all
This is the only time I'll linger in my silence
Until you know what it's like
Until you know what it's like
Until you know what it's like
To be unknown
