Only when I speak to myself
Is when the real
Substantial conversations
Flow together
Words travel gently off my tongue
I leave myself speechless
Thoughts die horribly in my mind
I retreat to nowhere

To understand I destroy myself
These scars are here to stay
Understand the rules
Understand

You could have taught me a lesson
In believing these lies
You would have tortured me longer
Just to watch me die

Silence is a friendly
Handshake from an old friend
Some one I confide in
When I need a hand

To understand I destroy myself
These scars are here to stay
Understand the rules
Understand

You could have taught me a lesson
In believing these lies
You would have tortured me longer
Just to watch me die

Silence 
Doesn't exist like it used to
Silence

To understand I destroy myself
These scars are here to stay
Understand the rules
Understand

You could have taught me a lesson
In believing these lies
You would have tortured me longer
Just to watch me die

You could have taught me a lesson
In believing these lies
You would have tortured me longer
Just to watch me die
