Tenacity Lyrics

Silence kills me, but I won't speak

Words are poison quiet I'll keep

Sickness rising, deep within me

No one can know that I'll soon be

Cold, withdrawn

Dead and gone

Slowly rotting, I won't give in

Don't wanna be someone's burden

Ignorant so they can't suffer

Wounds will come when this is

Over and done

When I'm dead and gone

Silence kills me, why can't I speak?

Drank the poison I am not weak

Cold and drawn

Dead and gone

Cold withdrawn

Dead

The beast gnawing on my flesh

Lock it up and leave it be

Struggling on I contemplate

The only possibility

But even in this hopeless state of

Overwhelming certainty

The glimmering light upon your faces

Gives me strength enough to bite my tongue

Grab the beast by the neck

Take control, push it back and keep

Silent

Should have known not to tempt the devil

Inhale and let him rupture me

Fool I was to try to cheat the devil

Serpent that murders silently

Should have known not to tempt the devil

Someone of such pure potency

Fool I was to try and beat the devil

Holding a ransom over

Me
