Hear Me Scream Silently

Lyrics

Intro
I keep it under skin
Cold wires in my ribs
Turn the key
Let it breathe
Listen close

Verse 1
Rust on the tongue again
I smile with broken teeth
Numbers crawl my eyelids
They march in rows beneath
A room of iron shadows
A floor that learns my shape
I walk like I'm possessed
By a heavy, hidden weight

Pre-Chorus
Closer
I can feel it
Closer
Through the grating
If I split apart tonight
Will you hear the sound inside

Chorus
Hear Me Scream Silently
(Hear me scream silently)
Hold that face on me
(Hold that face on me)
I shake the whole machine
(I shake the whole machine)
And it shakes me back

Verse 2
Latch marks on the doorway
Cold light through the seams
Every breath gets measured
Every thought gets cleaned
A metal mouth is praying
A metal mouth says stay
I bite down on the panic
Till it turns to a blade

Pre-Chorus
Closer
I can feel it
Closer
Through the grating
If I split apart tonight
Will you hear the sound inside

Chorus
Hear Me Scream Silently
(Hear me scream silently)
Hold that face on me
(Hold that face on me)
I shake the whole machine
(I shake the whole machine)
And it shakes me back

Bridge
Whispered
Open the lid
Count the scars
Name the parts
That fell apart

Inhuman Vocals
Hah
Hah-hah
I am the echo
Under your skin

Breakdown
Kneel
Kneel
Kneel
Metal throat, black smoke
Kneel
Kneel
Kneel
I am not your ghost

Verse 3
Now the bolts are singing
Now the walls lean in
I wear the same old fracture
Like a second grin
When the sirens start their crawling
I don't run, I wait
I let the dark come closer
Then I feed it my name

Chorus
Hear Me Scream Silently
(Hear me scream silently)
Hold that face on me
(Hold that face on me)
I shake the whole machine
(I shake the whole machine)
And it shakes me back

Outro
I keep it under skin
Cold wires in my ribs
Hear me
Hear me
I never really slept
