Never Speak Again - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

This is the altar of my downfall

A symbol of this glorious demise

Well, I'm in flames and getting deeper

All contact lost is no surprise

I'm sitting here alone

The silence heavier than me tonight

A lost cause found and sold again

A broken stride reborn again

Here among these gilded pages

Now is sanctuary's one last stand

To never have to speak again

To never say your name again

To never tell another lie

To live in the honesty of the eye

Create your own defense

And keep a secret tight

Tonight there will be no sound

In golden silence we'll be found

To never have to say goodbye

When it hurts too much to just get by

Honesty will be a glance away

We're not far

Don't say anything

When all the words of the poets lie meaningless

When all the trivial delusions all lose their place

In the arms of those who wonder why

Nothing really matters

Tonight there'll be no sound

In silence we'll be found

A little less exaggerated

To never say goodbye

To never tell a lie

To never come across so jaded

To never curse your name again

To never take the blame again

To never get the last word every time we've got nothin' good to say
