Silence
Desolate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You’ve made your bed so sleep in it.

You dug your grave so I’ll bury you alive.

I think I’m going insane,
I’m seeing ghosts in the corners of my vision.
And they’re speaking in tongues to me,
And I can’t understand it.
I've been to hell and back,
And I drag my bones in a bag behind me.
We're all committing the same old sins,
But dressing them in a new age fashion.

Am I losing my mind,
Or am I lost in time?
Am I losing my pride,
Or is this the light at the end of the tunnel?

This path I walk
Is scarring my feet.
All I see is the illusions that my eyes create.

I’m lost in the loop holes,
And now I’m drowning in the vertigo.
My head is spinning and I can’t come down.
These heights are taking me alive.
I’m lost in the loop holes,
And now I’m drowning in the vertigo.
Take me back to the days where I didn’t care.

Am I living on borrowed time,
Is this all just a fucking masquerade?
Is my heart really in this game,
Is my soul really made of the same thing.

Your silence says more than words.

These illusions my eyes create,
Are not what I want to see.
Am I living in a dream,
Or believing in a nightmare?
These illusions my eyes create,
Are not what I want to see.
Am I living in a dream,
Or have I become the nightmare?

I am the revolution
I am the evolution
I am the revolution
Revolt, hold tight.
I am the revolution
I am the evolution
I am the revolution
Revolt, hold tight.

Am I losing my mind,
Or am I lost in time?




Am I losing my pride?
I’m calloused and I've been dragged through hell.
