Never Speak Again

This is the altar of my downfall
A symbol of this glorious demise
Well I'm in flames and getting deeper
All contact lost is no surprise
I'm sitting here alone
The silence heavier than me tonight

A lost cause found and sold again
A broken stride reborn again
Here among these gilded pages
Now is sanctuary's one last stand

To never have to speak again
To never say your name again
To never tell another lie
To live in the honesty of the eye

Create your own defense
And keep a secret tight

Tonight there will be no sound
In golden silence we'll be found
To never have to say goodbye
When it hurts too much to just get by
Honesty will be a glance away

We're not far
Don't say anything

When all the words of the poets lie meaningless
When all the trivial delusions all lose their place
In the arms of those who wonder why
Nothing really matters

Tonight all be no sound
In silence we'll be found
A little less exaggerated
To never say goodbye
To never tell a lie
To never come across so jaded

To never curse your name again
To never take the blame again
To never get the last word every time we've got nothin' good to say
