Silence Won’t Help Me Now

Up and down
My emotions are tired out
So level with me now
And my sins'll start coming out
I felt the rise and fall
Of being wanted and then being recalled
I see you counting my wrongs
Well, I ain't a child of your god
So you can count all you want
But I still won't belong

You say shut it, I'll speak loud
You say take it, well, I'll rip it up proud
And I don't regret it 'cause my hearts so loud
Silence won't help me now
You say fake it, well, I'll bring the truth
You say close it, well, I'll open up to you
'Cause I've got nothing for to hold on to
And I know that it won't get me through
Silence won't get me through

You say turn it on
But once it's on you want it off
Cross your legs, hold your tongue
And forget about what you want
Follow blindly until your desire is gone

You say shut it, I'll speak loud
You say take it, well, I'll rip it up proud
And I don't regret it 'cause my hearts so loud
Oh, and silence won't help me now
You say fake it, well, I'll bring the truth
You say close it, I'll open up to you
I've got nothing for to hold on to
Oh, and I know that it won't get me through
Silence won't get me through

I don't know what you've been told
Don't let them tell you no more
I don't know what you've been told
Don't let them tell you no more
I don't know what you've been told
Don't let them tell you no more
'Cause I've been waiting, I've been patient
I am ready, yes I'm ready

You say shut it, I'll speak loud
You say take it, well, I'll rip it up proud
And I don't regret it 'cause my hearts so loud
Oh, and silence won't help me now
You say fake it, well, I'll bring the truth
You say close it, I'll open up to you
And I'll be your man and I'll be your woman too
Oh, and silence won't get me through
Oh, silence won't get me through
