The End of the Lie - Scream Silence

I wander the forest

still under her spell

no pathway to follow

in darkness we dwell

well sleep’s never easy

when your days are ill-spent

dreams of boats burning

refuse to relent

The more I try to feign

the less I belong

and the truth is so lonely

when there’s only yourself to be strong

It’s the end of the lie

nothing is worth more than time

when passion is compromised

it’s the end of the lie

The songbird is silent

whenever we approach

her disdain defiant

all three of us know

So the law I must break

as these days are to long

and the roof is so homely

when below me

there’s so much that’s wrong

It’s the end of the lie

nothing is worth more than time

when passion is compromised

it’s the end of the lie

It’s the end of the lie

nothing is worth more than time

more lament than lullaby

it’s the end of the lie

All Sunday a knot deep in my stomach

for the pain Monday’s laid in store

with Tuesday to Thursday the poison prevails

then Friday and Saturday

is the torpor

I’ve come to deplore

It’s the end of the lie

nothing is worth more than time

when passion is compromised

it’s the end of the lie

It’s the end of the lie

nothing is worth more than time

more lament than lullaby

it’s the end of the lie
