SILVERSTEIN LYRICS
SMASHED INTO PIECES
Never again. I'll slit my throat with the
knife I pulled out of my spine. Maybe
when you find out that I'm dead, you'll
realize what you did to me. And if my
lungs still let me breathe, would you
be there for me? If I can make myself
believe, I'll give you back what you
took away. No, I won't let it go. Douse
myself in gasoline. So don't save me
when you come into the fire. I'd rather
die than have to see your smile. You
made me swear. I can't sleep. Realize
all these things that you took from me.
Smash my heart into dust. Suffocate
my mind. Tear at me from inside.
Smash apart what you created. How
can I ever stop you from crushing my
soul? It was yours to begin with.
RED LIGHT PLEDGE
The ending's the same, past mistakes
that you made come back to haunt
you. I made a mistake; I wish I could
take back everything that I did. I wanted
to tell you, I really did. But how do I
explain this? Promise me you will be
there until the red light will change. I
would wait forever. Promise me you will
stay here until the darkness will fade,
I'd wait for you.
GIVING UP
I used to make the light shine for you.
The sun has left my sky. Velvet walls
surround my sorrows. I've sacrificed my
pride. You're giving up on me. I've laid
myself to sleep tonight. I know
you've played out everything in
your mind. And now you throw
it all away. A shattered memory
that you would stay, through
thick and thin with me. You're
giving up on me. And when you
feel the pain, I'm wishing I could
stay. How can I say I love you back, you
never made me happy. You've laid yourself
to sleep, I never said this wouldn't
hurt. You gave up everything; I never
said I'd give it back. I know you'll never
change; I won't be good enough for you.
I know, you'll make it through, I'll never
be around to see.
NOVEMBER
Fragile leaves hit the ground. The cold
air drifts into my lungs. I see your face
through the fog. Reminds me of the
dreams you lost. I can see it in your
eyes. You're broken down; your hands
are tied. I can feel it in my side. Over
and over and over I've tried. You're
broken down; your hands are tied. And
I know you cannot hide. Over and over
and over I've tried. It broke my heart. It
felt so good to see you. I've never been
one to put my trust in. When did I
become so weak, or have I always
been? I can't put all this back in place.
This gaping hole in my chest is filled
with deceit. I fear that all my cries fell
upon deaf ears. I caress flesh with
severed nerves. I go veiled in darkness
and disease. This November swallows
me whole. And this may be the closest
thing that you'll ever receive to an
apology. I close my eyes and I can
see you dead.
LAST DAYS OF SUMMER
The bright light beams from her eyes
like broken glass. Or a broken heart,
who would have guessed? You'd leave
me here. Beneath my eyes I feel the
tears, I hold back. I won't leave this
way again. As my legs start to shake,
I feel nothing. I wanted you, I needed
you, but you weren't there for me this
time. I won't leave this way again. You
that I loved, that I needed. You weren't
there. Not this time. What can I do?
I was supposed to love you. What can
I say? I won't leave. What can I do?
I was supposed to help you. I cannot
feel. Last breath I feel, warm air intake.
The last summer's day, last one I take.
I won't leave this way. Lost it all for you.
When the shadows beam, misery
remains. I won't leave this time.
BLEEDS NO MORE
My heart bleeds no more; now, it's
been turned to stone. Your stomach
feels sick for someone else. I've
broken both my legs falling for you.
Drag me on the ground. Powerless I
stand, tarnished blade, cutting through,
pushed into my vein. Blood still stains
my hands. Sharpening my sense of
pain outside, my heart bleeds no more.
Killing everything off inside. Make
sense of everything you tried to hide,
hide from me. My heart bleeds no
more; now, it's been turned to stone.
My stomach feels sore from cutting up.
I ruined all my sanctity for you. Smash
me on the ground. I wanted to convince
myself there's nothing else to do. I
wanted to. Provide you with proof of
what you put me through. I wanted to.
Pretend that I was you. Killing everything
off inside. Make sense of everything
you tried to hide, hide from me. My
heart bleeds no more; now, it's been
turned to stone. Your stomach feels
sick for someone else. I've broken both
my legs falling for you. Smash me on
the ground.
HEAR ME OUT
When everyone has left me here, I'll
make it on my own. Just wait and see.
Maybe if you came back down, you'd
see it happening to you. Maybe you'd
even care. Hear me out, I don't think
you'll make it out. Hear me out, see the
writing on the wall. Burn your bridge
and wear your heart out on your sleeve.
You know you won't fool me. You
made all these promises. You broke
all these promises to me. Follow your
heart this time. Did you mean all those
things you said? Even when you said
you'd never change. Writing you letters
you never read. Waste my breath on
paper. When you reflect do you get that
feeling like you used to? And every
time you run away. I know you still have
memories. Now that you've left. Make
me feel like I'm gone. You did all these
things I hated.
THE WEAK AND THE WOUNDED
The end begins. I can't escape as it
pulls me further into anesthesia. Tear
down my sense of conviction. Corrupt
my soul. The end begins. In my eyes. In
my heart. I have laid upon a deadman's
bed, only to fall into a trap of lies and
seduction that rivals the greatest sense
of love. Play it back until the voice
becomes just a sound. Penetrate my
mind with all these images of you. I
have given up an angel's kiss. Only to
break apart your path of trust and burn
myself down. Struggle to the end; I
scare myself. I'd give it all to have it
back. I could have had it all in front of
you all by myself. Love in my eyes, lust
in my heart. I made it all up. Lies, deceit
empowers me, so it ends.
WISH I COULD FORGET YOU
You won't repeat this for the rest of the
crowd. I know they will miss but you'll
still feel proud. Say it's gold, say it's fine.
The secret's out that you're mine. The
television radiates as the clock ticks on
and on and oná It's getting too late and
it's time to move on.
WHEN BROKEN IS EASILY FIXED
I can resist everything except temptation.
My body breaks, but I am still intact
inside. My human instinct, I can love
unconditionally. Cross my heart and lie
to you (my conscience plagues at me,
fills me with this despair) Failure within
me. Promise you and let you down
(Emotion conquers my soul, robs me of
myself) Brings me to my knees. Follow
me, lead you astray (nourish myself with
fear, give me the pain to fail) Loathe
myself to sleep. Your words kill me.
You can breathe without oxygen and live
without sorrow. How I envy you, though
pity your ghost. Ignorance is bliss I wish
I could never love you. So ironic that a
heart made by man, when broken is
easily fixed. But a human hurt can last
a lifetime. Rust or decay. The fire or the
flame. You and I will lead the path to
change. Pave the way.
WAITING FOUR YEARS
I gave you everything, but it just wasn't enough to make you stay. You said you'd give me time and space again. I asked to see you everyday. Now I'm waiting four year just to feel your touch, waiting four whole years to say how much I care. The flowers I gave you, died, lost and been thrown away, just like me. Life has passed me by, reflected in my eye. Never again will I have you beside me, you to be there. The years behind cost more than I'll ever have. Now I'm waiting four years just to hear your voice, waiting four whole years to lie right by your side. I waited all this time, just to see your smile. I waited all this time to say how much I care. Can you see me waiting for you everyday?
FRIENDS IN FALLRIVER
Your life lives half a nation away, my heart hurts so. I believe letting you go was the biggest mistake of my life. What did I do? Alone and confused. What can I say? What can I do? I'm heading the wrong way home. Knowing alone is alone. It's just too difficult to be just me instead of we. What did I do? Alone and confused. What can I say? Nothing. I don't know where to begin since you left me for him. I don't know where to begin and you left me for him. I don't want to start again, and I can't be your friend. I don't know where to begin since you left me for him.
SUMMER'S STELLAR GAZE
As time passes us by and hurries us with pride, we'll have the past for the rest of our lives. Don't lose touch with reality, compensate for life's stupidity. I wait for it. You know that it's true. You cannot lose. A summer can't be forgotten from the words that you speak. Summer's stellar gaze. I wait for it. You know that it's true. You cannot lose. You're one of the few. Summer's Stellar Gaze.
MY CONSOLATION
You left me, now you come back to me saying it's changed and we're not the same people we once were. And you beg to be back with me, I can't see anything but you. Every night, I see you there. Everyday, I hate you and everything we once were. You keep saying it's changed and we're not the same. And you beg to be back with me, now I can't see anything. I won't forget everything that you put us through. Every night, I see you there. Everyday, I hate you. Crying can't carry you back to me.
FOREVER AND A DAY
I thought we'd be together forever. But it seems I was wrong and everything's falling apart. Think of what I've done for you. Think of all that we've been through. I hope every time he breaks your heart you think of me and how I was to you. Everything's falling apart. One day you'll see just how good I was. And I thought that we'd be together forever.
DAWN OF THE FALL
It was yesterday you told me you loved me. But today I learned you found someone else and everything was fake. When I get back home I know that you'll be gone. And all the things I've given you are left behind; I'll put them in a box. And today I found out you moved in with him. A one-bedroom apartment down the road from the place we first met. When I get back home I know that you'll be gone. With all the memories of me you had locked here in this box. And I'll start to think of everything we had. I was always there for you I asked for nothing in return I swear. I'll believe, you'll make you see. You were there with someone else. See my pain, I'll believe you were there with him. I don't want to see your face again, not like this. I don't have to see you in this place. I don't want to see your face again. I will not be ashamed not now. This time I won't be ashamed of it. This time I won't make it change myself. This time I will make myself believe. My heart, it won't break this time, won't be left behind, I won't be so shy; I won't let you win this time.
