Silence - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I know it's there, lit and burning to shine out

I know it's there, itchin', scratchin' just to shout

Buried treasure saved

Waiting for perfect breezes, perfect waves

When will you dare to wipe that furrow from your brow?

Can't get nowhere halfway

So I'll be here till you're brave, till you say

That you love me

And 'cause I'm left accountable for everything I gain

You've shown too many other ways for me to call it pain

This is just a stupid secret shared too many times

It's kinda like this thing that I would let go if I'm wise

Sort of like the way I feel that sometimes makes me cry

You look just like someone I know who cannot tell a lie

Cannot say, cannot say

That you love me

If I could just convince myself of what I'd rather have

If I could just convince myself I'm better off

Much better

With silence
