[Verse 1] I sleep in static, I wake in screams My mind a graveyard of broken dreams Tied to a silence I can't outrun It wraps around me like a loaded gun [Pre-Chorus] I carved my truth into my skin Each line a place I've never been [Chorus] This is the silence that binds Tearing holes in my spine Not a whisper, not a prayer Just the weight I wear This is the silence that binds Where the dead still sing I wear their voices Like rusted rings [Verse 2] My blood hums low, like a dying song I’ve been pretending to be strong too long Nails in my chest, chains on my throat Hope was the first thing I learned to choke [Pre-Chorus] I carved my truth into my skin Each line a place I’ve never been [Chorus] This is the silence that binds Tearing holes in my spine Not a whisper, not a prayer Just the weight I wear This is the silence that binds Where the dead still sing I wear their voices Like rusted rings [Bridge 1 (Screaming)] Split bone... red flood... Still smiling through the mud Sewn lips... white eyes... Truth never learned to lie [Verse 3] I taste the rot when I breathe in deep These nightmares aren't mine, but they're mine to keep My heart beats slow like a funeral drum Every scream just makes me numb [Chorus] This is the silence that binds Tearing holes in my spine Not a whisper, not a prayer Just the weight I wear This is the silence that binds Where the dead still sing I wear their voices Like rusted rings [Bridge 2 (Screaming)] One fall... no sound... Still waiting to be found No god... no light... Only silence left to fight [Outro] This silence is mine This silence is mine It breaks, it bleeds But it still feels like me
