Silent All These Years

excuse but can I be you for awhile? my dog won’t bite if you sit real still. I've got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yelling at me again, yeah I can hear that.

been saved again by the garbage truck, got something to say but nothing comes. yes I know what you think of me you never shut up, yeah I can hear that.

but what if I'm a mermaid, in these jeans of his with her name still on it? hey but I don't care cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice and its been here, silent all these years.

so you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts, what's so amazing about really deep thoughts? boy you best pray that I bleed real soon, how's that thought for ya?

My scream got lost in a paper cup, you think there's a heaven where some screams have gone? I've got twenty five bucks and a cracker, do you think it's enough, to get us there.

cause what if I'm a mermaid, in these jeans of his with her name still on it? hey but I don’t care cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice and its been here, silent all these…

Years go by, will I still be waiting for somebody else to understand? years go by if I be stripped of my beauty and the orange clouds raining in my eyes? years go by will I choke on my tears til finally there is nothing left one more casualty you know its too easy, easy, easy…

well I love the way we communicate, your eyes focus on my funny lip shape. let's hear what you think of me now but, baby, don’t look up, the sky is falling.

your mother shows up in a nasty dress, it's your turn now to stand where I stand. everybody looking, and you, you take hold of my hand, yeah I can hear them

what if I'm a mermaid in these jeans of yours with her name still on it? hey, but I don’t care cause sometimes, I said sometimes, I hear my voice, I hear my voice, I hear my voice and its been here, silent all these years.

I've been here, silent all these years, silent all these…

silent all these years.
