The Silence

Hide my fingers and my blame
You ran through a fire inside your brain
The rings of flowers 'round your grave
Every day I wish you stayed
Your head upon my shoulder
I watch you grow older
You pulled in your twine
Push my hands through your spine

So if the sky is way too bright to come outside
Just come say hi
Cause it's gon' hurt to say goodbye
When you're not here in the dead of night
I just can't seem to wake up fine
Just keep your secret wrapped so tight

In the dark we break silence
On a wave just for two
And in the fire we make movies of the silver linings
In the dark they bring violence
Well they came and took my boy
And in the sky we find memories in the silver lightning

I'm afraid of not being afraid to die
You always told me that men don't cry
I feel your heartbeat so amplified
You hold my fingers and say goodbye
I'm afraid of not being afraid to die
You always told me that men don't cry
I feel your heartbeat so amplified
You hold my fingers and say goodbye
