Silence and Secrets

from Malachi & GREGORY by GREGORY

/

lyrics

Once upon a time I thought I understood your reservations
But time will tell if I can someday decipher through your morphic inclinations

Innocence diffracting through the prism of your jealousy
Yields a shifted spectrum from love through disparity
Tainting the color of the bonds that we conceived
Reality conspired to kill the dreams that we pretended to believe
With everything reviled, can you save me?
Alacrity defiled by thrilling themes intended solely to deceive

So here we are with your silence and secrets
Deceptive pleading
I am floating away from you
I've been hunting the temptress, elusive and fleeting
Longing for the feel of something new
Your silence and secrets are everlasting
Life got in our way

Perhaps that is why you are never satisfied
The silence and secrets you keep inside

Perhaps in another time we could transcend these carnal limitations
And bid farewell the atrocity of knowing that we simply wasted time

Peace is an abstract and contentment and illusion
Hate is a philosophy inspiring you away
We have succumbed to the resonance of treason
Rotating around a center of mass that has decayed into this

Trust in betrayal was hard to imagine
But you have changed the world for me
Lust can derail the trajectory of love
You have taken this all from me
The truth of denial was ephemeral
Remorse has soaked into my veins

I am all that I ever was
My own creation
And I am spiraling down now
Through your silence
You are all that you every were
Your invitation to Heaven is closed and empty
Keep your secrets close

Cold and Insidious and compelling as your Hell
Will you even remember my name?

My asceticism is no longer your concern
I am dying to begin again
Perhaps that is why you are never satisfied
The silence and secrets you keep inside
