I fell in love with a corpse on Sunday
But it was me who turned out black and blue
My lack of oxygen was brought on by the upswing
Of words not said to me and things that weren't true no
He was a figment of a mild conception
Nobody seems to know just how I pulled through
The course had taken up a difficult crossroads
When one don't know if they are being misused
When will the silence quiet down
Are we coming around
It took forever for the balance to weigh out
A substitution for the thing that feels real
The sky had fallen when your eyes became downcast
Rolled out the carpet that would seal the deal yeah
It was a newness that I took a real shine to
No one could tell me I was getting dropped off
But I was strong you know
I hit the ground running
Scarred myself up so I wouldn't get soft
When will the silence quiet down
Are we coming around
My congregation had all left me by the wayside
A mangled secret on the side of the road
What was occasional had become quite a constant
A memory strong enough to swallow me whole yeah
I was alone the day I cried out for my wisdom
To come make peace with me so we could move on
My soreness had me
I was choking with the idea
That there was nothing left
My gift was all gone
I like the sound of a hostile emotion
There's something bout it that can keep my head straight
I don't predict the future
I can't see your fortune
But I still seem to feel you're part of my fate
When will the silence quiet down
Are we coming around
Too much exhausts me when I'm down
Make peace with me now
Now
