lyrics

Opening my eyes, surrounded by the crowd 
The voices grow in volume, 'til I can't help but shout
 I know they're all in danger, I know that I need help
 I know there's only silence just beyond my self
 The thoughts I'll never hear, the minds that aren't mine
 The fingers that I'm feeling tracing shivers down my spine
 They keep getting louder, telling me to kill 
If you won't bring me silence damn it then I will

Open up your skin, enough for me to see
 The marching red inside you, marching to your beat 
Are you afraid?, I know I'm not
 For the first time in a long time the voices have just
 -Stopped

Taking in the air, swallowing the scene
 The murmurs once inside me now turn into screams 
They keep getting louder, as blood dries on my hands 
It's slipping through my fingers like so many grains of sand

Locked in my skull, I see her skeleton still
 Blood on the walls cakes, flakes, and covers me 
On a throne made of bones she sits, throat slit and turning green 
I claw at my eyes, she begs me let her die 
"Oh let me go" She says, I'll make it worth your while"
 "Oh no, my only hope is silence"

I open my eyes and darkness is all that I see
 From the corners, the walls, seeps and creeps even out from me
 Locked in my head I'm already dead
 And the filth on my hands has painted me red.

The voices grow in volume; I need to let them out
 They keep getting louder, 'til I can't help but shout
 They're bursting from inside me; I'm splitting at the seams 
The silence that I'm longing seems a bitter distant dream
The thoughts I'll never hear, the minds that aren't mine 
The fingers that I'm feeling tracing shivers down my spine 
They keep getting louder as blood dries on my hands 
It's slipping through my fingers like so many grains of sand
