L̷i̷p̷s̷ S̷e̷w̷n̷ S̷h̷u̷t̷

verse

the ever-looming ever-chaining fear you're in its grasp

forever bound forever mute until the very last

sane! is a word you no more say a remnant of the past

you never screamed you never spoke up and it took you fast

way! buried

under the burden of what's left unsaid

wail! defeatist

lament in silence that your throat is claimed

chorus

come are the days with your lips sewn shut

come are the days with your lips sewn shut

come are the days with your lips sewn shut

come are the days with your lips sewn shut

verse

the inner workings inner turmoil you all keep to yourself

the inner bearings ever wearing out and you will never tell

lethargy residing in a curse of mute you've made your hell

legacy of nothing nothing said no words until you fell

wait! so still

... never speak!

raised! voice and

... finally

[chorus] gone are the days with your lips sewn shut

gone are the days with your lips sewn shut

gone are the days with your lips sewn shut

gone are the days with your lips sewn shut aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauh-haaaaaaahiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!

instrumental bridge

pre-chorus

you speak up; now

[chorus] gone are the days with your lips sewn shut

gone are the days with your lips sewn shut

gone are the days with your lips sewn shut

gone are the days with your lips sewn shut, and

gone are the days with your lips sewn shut

gone are the days with your lips sewn shut

gone are the days with your lips sewn shut

gone are the days with your lips sewn shut hnnh.
