Breaking Your Silence Lyrics by Generationals

Reader As Detective

2019

[Verse 1]
You were shot down for banging on sidewalks
Waking up sovereign states
Raking up graves and wasting your common grace
Creatures outside were posting your face up
Dreaming up shadow plays
If you could straighten that spine
You got a way to decide your fate

[Chorus]
Instead of breaking your silence
You could be the same way
And keep your favors to yourself, but
They could see in your eyes
There's not a thing they could say so

[Verse 2]
Holding on tight to places you remember
Keeping your story straight
Taking your time with friends you invite to your wake
You're so tired of waking up shaking
Facing your passing days
Rolling in circles, hoping the fever would break

[Chorus]
Instead of breaking your word
You can pay to make sure
They never back the train up, but
They can read in your mind
You got a reason to stay, so
Instead of breaking your silence
You could be the same way
And keep your favors to yourself, but
They could see in your eyes
There's not a thing they could say so

[Bridge]
Instrumental

[Chorus]
Instead of breaking your word
You can pay to make sure
They never back the train up, but
They can read in your mind
You got a reason to stay, but
Instead of breaking your silence
You could be the same way
And keep your favors to yourself, but
They could see in your eyes
There's not a thing they could say so

Instead of breaking your word
You can pay to make sure
They never back the train up, but
They can read in your mind
You got a reason to stay
