The Silence

Why do I deserve the science
 To feel better about you?
 ♪
 At a loss I lost my cool
 I denied that I found you
 
 I tried to be a basket case
 I did not surprise you
 
 I'm trying to find a signal fire
 Let me know when I should move
 But you, amplified in the silence
 Justified in the way you make me bruise
 ♪
 Magnified in the science
 Anatomically proved that you don't need me
 ♪
 Why do I desire the space?
 I was mourning after you
 ♪
 I was lost and lost my shape
 There was nothing I could do
 ♪
 I don't want to waste away
 It was all I gave to you
 
 Take me back and take my place
 I will rise right up for you
 But you, amplified in the silence
 Justified in the way you make me bruise
 ♪
 Magnified in the science
 Anatomically proved that you don't need me
 All the while you waste away, you're asking
 "Did I really need another one to take me down?"
 
 Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling
 Nobody's gonna tear you down now
 There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection
 ♪
 There was nothing but quiet retractions
 And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet
 There's far more bad than there's good, I don't know how it got there"
 
 That was something your father had burned in me
 20 hours out of Homestake eternity
 You can go anywhere but you are where you came from
 Little girl, you are cursed by my ancestry
 There is nothing but darkness and agony
 I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking
 
 Let me watch you as close as a memory
 Let me hold you above all the misery
 Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
