Madder Mortem Lyrics

Resonantine Lyrics

I am so sorry. I've made amends

 I've kept my peace and bent my neck

 I know the pattern, I know the sound

 and I have twisted it around

 The chance to speak passed me by

 Remaining frozen in dead time

 Honesty stripped of its meaning

 I would not hurt you again

 You have my heart, you have my hands

 Pinning me down when I'm leaving

 

 Moving without sense or sign

 Uprooted, and the pain refined

 How long can the silence hold?

 Where were you when I grew old?

 

 Move me in my lack of faith

 Unhand me when it's all too late

 How long can your arm hold strong?

 Where are you when I am wrong?

 

 I know you well enough

 

 On the treshold of speaking of truces

 Then the mouthful of still, hollow fear

 There's no name to the path I am choosing

 Time is passing, but I am still here 

 to see it through

 

 Will I carry this burden forever?

 My hands moving with words you won't hear

 My heart beating the pulse for the deathbed

 It's my kingdom. Here I am it all

 So I know it each time you are lying

 I can tell from the shame in your eyes

 And each time there's a piece of me dying

 but you know that I never compromise

 

 Drowned inside you, all embraced

 Grown to love the safety it gave

 All protection ripped away

 Never leave me alone and mute again

 

 How long can the silence hold?
