Tárvotur - Silent Sleep Lyrics

I have buried all my tears
Beneath the earth where no one sees
All my fears upon the post
And go down with the ship
When it wilts away will there be nothing
To take its place and become something
Look. Look how far we've run
The lengths we went to not shed tears
Keep it inside
Self reflection will only hurt
Let the world change for you
It's all their fault after all
When it wilts away will there be nothing
To take its place and become something
If I just let it go, then who would I be
Here at my funeral the flowers come to me
You closed your heart, did as commanded
Still the blade was held
No shield for you to stand your ground
And never to be crowned
Is it the fault of somebody else
For your eyes to be dimmed
It was not your blade held at their throat
But many men like you
When it wilts away will there be nothing
To take its place and become something
If I just let it go, then who would I be
Here at my funeral the flowers come to me
Here by the walls we raised, choking on tears
How heavy the heart that weep
Held within a silent sleep
If I just let it go, then who would I be
Here at my funeral the flowers come to me
Here by the walls we raised, choking on tears
How heavy the heart that weep
Held within a silent sleep
Surviving abuse and pain
No one could see
Tears traded into blood
The child you were don't sleep
