Lyrics

[Intro] (We fall silent) [Verse 1: CC] Read some words, wrote them down Pen and paper coming down Nobody knew, nobody asked And for that I was somewhat glad Bishops in my hair, bishops on my back Painted yellow by the ones who wanted me and I would die trying to escape [Chorus: CC] I'm so ready to fall (we fall silent) I'm so ready to take this all (we fall silent) Down with me, my fight is done (we fall silent) I'll admit it, you have won (we fall silent) But how should I over come this silence? (we fall silent) [Verse 2: CC] So, you are your own person Yet your ways still worsen I've been running from you for nine years, it seems yet You cannot fathom a stigma That forces you to rid of them The bishops in my hair, bishops on my back Paint me yellow and cover me up and [Chorus: CC] I'm so ready to fall (we fall silent) I'm so ready to take this all (we fall silent) Down with me, my fight is done (we fall silent) I'll admit it, you have won (we fall silent) But how should I over come this silence? (we fall silent) [Bridge: CC] My bones have been retraced, facial features defaced Being shattered, clattered to the ground the hour ticking past the World it seems, thinking "Only me, I can stop this, the clock is wrong," and Have you ever thought about what happens when you die? An eternal darkness, up or down, is it neigh? Telling me that I am wrong, but the world isn't against me so I just fall [Chorus: CC] I'm so ready to fall (we fall silent) I'm so ready to take this all (we fall silent) Down with me, my fight is done (we fall silent) I'll admit it, you have won (we fall silent) But how should I over come this silence? (we fall silent) [Outro] (We fall silent, we fall silent We fall silent, we fall silent)
