Ten Tons of Silence Lyrics

you can't just leave me here
buried deep beneath ten tons of silence
you won't believe how quickly peace turns into b***** violence
starved of cobbling words
nothing stirs beneath ten tons of silence
i can't believe how swiftly warmth turns into cold defiance
you can't just leave me here
unforgiven under ten tons of silence
condemned to lie helplessly
you watch as peace turns to b***** violence
and the stiffening begins
muscle becomes bone
i am fossilized, calcified, the stupor sets in
dumb as a stone, i am wide-eyed, petrified
uncivilized graves
as we suffocate alone and ten tons are lifted

i am fine
i am fine
i am fine
never leave me here
buried deep beneath ten tons of silence
you won't believe how quickly peace turns into b***** violence
