I tell you when to speak
To get up from your seat
You're wearing the letter, abettor
See what you've done to me

I know there's nothing left to be
I know there is no use
There is no forever and ever
Can't fix what once was whole

It used to follow me wherever
Like vines that grew [bad word] to hold myself together
Like vines that grew

Silent so long
After the wait
After I'm on my own
I illuminate

Below the strong are weak
What talked has turned to meat
I let it get redder and redder
What tore inside of me

Alone I am my enemy
Alone I see the [bad word] I know that together or severed
I'll dig out from the hole

It used to follow me wherever
Like vines that grew [bad word] to hold myself together
Like vines that grew

Silent so long
After the wait
After I'm on my own
I illuminate

Silent so long
After the wait
After I'm on my own
I illuminate

Silent so long
After the wait
After I'm on my own
I illuminate

Silent so long
After the wait
After I'm on my own
I illuminate

Silent so long
Silent so long
After I'm on my own
I illuminate
Silent so long
