lyrics

I know that you’ve been waiting on the cloud above my head
Hoping it would fade along the darkness and the dread
Well I’m sorry if I let you down
But it’s gonna rain until I drown
Here in my bed

You tell me that you’re listening, but I don’t know what to say
They don’t make words in English for what happened on that day
So I’ll terrorize the neighborhood
Like wounded animals should
‘Till they take me out behind the shed and fire

‘Cause there’s no silver lining
There’s no starry night
What happened here was wrong
And you can’t make it right
I don’t want to flower
Can’t grow here anyhow
Maybe this once was a garden
But it's a cemetery now

Don’t ask me to explain the thing that sits outside my door
It took a piece and now I’m scared it’s coming back for more
If I name it, then it’s real
The thing it did
The way I feel
The hole it opened up and, you know how it goes

‘Cause there’s no silver lining
There’s no starry night
What happened here was wrong
And you can’t make it right
I don’t want to flower
Can’t grow here anyhow
Maybe this once was a garden
But it's a cemetery now

And I keep faking silence
Dancing ‘round it in the dark
‘Cause now I know the wolves all bite much sharper than their bark
Can you guess what it’s all about
This bitter taste left in my mouth
I wish I wasn’t so much wiser now

‘Cause there’s no silver lining
There’s no starry night
What happened here was wrong
And you can’t make it right
I don’t want to flower
Can’t grow here anyhow
Maybe this once was a garden
But it's a cemetery now
