Resonantine Lyrics - Madder Mortem

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?
