Silence by CC Lyrics
[Intro]
(We fall silent)
[Verse 1: CC]
Read some words, wrote them down
Pen and paper coming down
Nobody knew, nobody asked
And for that I was somewhat glad
Bishops in my hair, bishops on my back
Painted yellow by the ones who wanted me and
I would die trying to escape
[Chorus: CC]
I'm so ready to fall (we fall silent)
I'm so ready to take this all (we fall silent)
Down with me, my fight is done (we fall silent)
I'll admit it, you have won (we fall silent)
But how should I over come this silence? (we fall silent)
[Verse 2: CC]
So, you are your own person
Yet your ways still worsen
I've been running from you for nine years, it seems yet
You cannot fathom a stigma
That forces you to rid of them
The bishops in my hair, bishops on my back
Paint me yellow and cover me up and
[Chorus: CC]
I'm so ready to fall (we fall silent)
I'm so ready to take this all (we fall silent)
Down with me, my fight is done (we fall silent)
I'll admit it, you have won (we fall silent)
But how should I over come this silence? (we fall silent)
[Bridge: CC]
My bones have been retraced, facial features defaced
Being shattered, clattered to the ground the hour ticking past the
World it seems, thinking "Only me, I can stop this, the clock is wrong," and
Have you ever thought about what happens when you die?
An eternal darkness, up or down, is it neigh?
Telling me that I am wrong, but the world isn't against me so I just fall
[Chorus: CC]
I'm so ready to fall (we fall silent)
I'm so ready to take this all (we fall silent)
Down with me, my fight is done (we fall silent)
I'll admit it, you have won (we fall silent)
But how should I over come this silence? (we fall silent)
[Outro]
(We fall silent, we fall silent
We fall silent, we fall silent)
(We fall silent)
[Verse 1: CC]
Read some words, wrote them down
Pen and paper coming down
Nobody knew, nobody asked
And for that I was somewhat glad
Bishops in my hair, bishops on my back
Painted yellow by the ones who wanted me and
I would die trying to escape
[Chorus: CC]
I'm so ready to fall (we fall silent)
I'm so ready to take this all (we fall silent)
Down with me, my fight is done (we fall silent)
I'll admit it, you have won (we fall silent)
But how should I over come this silence? (we fall silent)
[Verse 2: CC]
So, you are your own person
Yet your ways still worsen
I've been running from you for nine years, it seems yet
You cannot fathom a stigma
That forces you to rid of them
The bishops in my hair, bishops on my back
Paint me yellow and cover me up and
[Chorus: CC]
I'm so ready to fall (we fall silent)
I'm so ready to take this all (we fall silent)
Down with me, my fight is done (we fall silent)
I'll admit it, you have won (we fall silent)
But how should I over come this silence? (we fall silent)
[Bridge: CC]
My bones have been retraced, facial features defaced
Being shattered, clattered to the ground the hour ticking past the
World it seems, thinking "Only me, I can stop this, the clock is wrong," and
Have you ever thought about what happens when you die?
An eternal darkness, up or down, is it neigh?
Telling me that I am wrong, but the world isn't against me so I just fall
[Chorus: CC]
I'm so ready to fall (we fall silent)
I'm so ready to take this all (we fall silent)
Down with me, my fight is done (we fall silent)
I'll admit it, you have won (we fall silent)
But how should I over come this silence? (we fall silent)
[Outro]
(We fall silent, we fall silent
We fall silent, we fall silent)
