Sworn To Silence

(앨범: A Eulogy For Those Still Here - 2022)

Sworn to silence
Not another sterile sound
Will escape from my jaw
Sworn to silence
Pry open my mouth
Pulling teeth to place within your palms

Tear into my throat and gather for yourself
The final act of charity I wasn't fit to give
Forced remembrance will pour out of my head
And evaporate before it hits the ground

Using knives to rewrite my last rites

Sworn to silence
Not another sterile sound
Will escape from my jaw
Sworn to silence
Pry open my mouth
Pulling teeth to place within your palms

Drain the blood I couldn't retain
Drain my blood to purge you of pain
Drain the blood, vacant and vain

Tear into my throat and gather for yourself
A scripture insincere, unfit to preach in faith
Forced remembrance will pour out of my head
Devoid of the nourishment you need

Using knives to rewrite my last rites
Using knives to rewrite my last rites

Sworn to silence
Not another sterile sound
Will escape from my jaw
Sworn to silence
Pry open my mouth
Pulling teeth to place within your palms

Drain the blood (Drain the blood)
I couldn't retain (I couldn't retain)
Drain the blood to purge you of pain
