((cut out intro--4 bars in)) Narration: It ends again as it begins: With 2 shots [2 gunshots] 　 Standing above the body The broken body smoke beginning to float Out the hole from the shotty Above the body Above the broken body Trying to grab a hold Of the soul to keep from wandering There’s no stopping The blood the sobbing No matter how hard he screams He still gonna see that body fallen Its just a body And soon itll be nothing He knows long after its gone He’s still gonna hear the cries haunting And that’s tragic But howd it happen To a man that’d always held himself up way above the madness He can’t fathom This goddamn blackness This goddamn sadness The fact that just happened But now he’ll manage To understand his actions In a moment that took a month To build up and come crashin Cuz now he’s wrapped in His own silent passion --A passive captive In the moment that he’s trapped in ((cut outro)) Narration: he’s taken back to the beginning, lying alone in his bed

[if you cry] [and while you cry] [if you cry] [and while you cry] [and while you cry] He’s taken back to the day When he was all alone again He was the one who made the end But he never expected all this pain No--He sleeps alone in his bed every night Wit no one to hold, knowing her head, used to always calm his mind with Her silence, right beside his beating chest and night was timeless They never dreamt of all the world in all its violence He just held her close Her quiet form Her warmth Her shoulder rise and fall Right beside his Yes--and now he needs that back Yes--he needs her silent mind to relax Yes--he need his other half To fill the gap they made That’s trapping him everyday He needs her back--yes He needs her silent mind to relax Yes--he needs the other half to come back Yes--to fill the gap they made He just wants to say [and while you cry] “I feel you” [if you cry] “I’ll heal you” [and while you cry] “I’ll be right beside you Kneel right beside your silence” [and while you cry] “I need you” [if you cry] “I’ll heal you” [and while you cry] “I’ll be right beside you Be right beside you silent” [and while you cry] “I’ll hold you every night I’ll hold you right so tight Like closed lips Just know this I’ll hold you every night Ill hold you right beside I’ll hold your mind in mine Just know this Everytime you cry I’ll hold you right so tight” Is what he says over an over in his head Over and over again Rolling over in his bed Over and over again Until it all makes sense He’s got a plan and so he grabs a pen He writes down All the things he want to say now Overwhelmed by all the thing he wants to say loud Cuz one mind all alone at night Can make anything right [and while you cry] “I feel you” [if you cry] “I’ll heal you” [and while you cry] “I’ll be right beside you Kneel right beside your silence” [and while you cry] “I need you” [if you cry] “I’ll heal you” [and while you cry] “I’ll be right beside you Be right beside you silent” [and while you cry] [cry, I know I was wrong, its just that winters been so long And everythings been going wrong, its just that winters been so long cry, I know I was wrong, its just that winters been so long And everythings been going wrong, its just that winters been so long] ‘Hello?’ “Hi….I need to talk” …. “I’m coming over”

[Loveless loneliness] [loveless loneliness] So he rolls over to house and announces All he’s thought about And how he’s counted Every single day And in every single way They been apart And all the pain that came When he thinks about her name He freezes Its like winter times changed All the season Its all bleakness He needs this Every beat without her heart Feels like he bleeds it--so he says “Take me back Before my blood runs out Take me back I’ll be a good man now Take me back And let me show you how I can take all of your words Right out your mouth Cuz that’s how well I’ve come know you You’re my other half, so let me show you I’m always there I’m like air I’m always there to hold you down Without a care” Wasn’t a choice made between two people Wasn’t a choice made between two evils None lesser--but one less heard Another lesson aint always best learned It wasn’t a choice made between two people Wasn’t a choice made between two evils None lesser--but one less heard Didn’t deserve all the pain they earned 　 She stood Frozen in the moment Just trying to process All he spoke and She felt broken Not controlling Everything she wanted to say She staid closed in Her thoughts A locked box She couldn’t say nothing Like she never own the locks That unlocked all the memories they made They made a lot of love, but they only kept the pain When the night turned to day And the shade would fade away He would leave her on her own Cuz he knew that she would stay Like she staid Till the day that he went astray And then he left her once again Without a single word to say To him, it was another day To her, a strike against the face He left, and came to hate the change But she kept the pain of knowing she stayed the same And as she stood in the air of indifference Knowing his words were only in his own interest He took her silence, took her silent tries like some kind of a tacit consignment He took it as a sign of what he wanted in his mind and He took her hand, lead her inside and Took her hand, lead her in silence Wasn’t a choice made between two people Wasn’t a choice made between two evils None lesser--but one less heard Another lesson aint always best learned It wasn’t a choice made between two people Wasn’t a choice made between two evils None lesser--but one less heard Didn’t deserve all the pain that they earned

Then he leads her to the mattress Lays her in down in pitch blackness Unwraps her clothes Holds her close Holds her form Till he knows He’s re-found His black magic Yes he managed To find the silent night he might relaxin Within her silent passion he’s grabbing He goes to slip in But then a quiet voice comes in crashin ‘Have a condom?’--“ya” -------‘put it on then?’--“na”--- “We never used them before” ‘I know, but I’m not on birth control anymore’ Is what she woulda said Had she actually spoke But no, he chose to hold her lips closed With his fingertips so The froze moment wouldn’t be broke [Come die with me] [Come die with me] [Come die with me] [Come die with me] And so it happened Two halves of the act gone tragic ------ One man so caught up in his own passion And one passive captive A passive action Held down to her own damn mattress--mind crashing Took her silent fashion as a sign shook passion And pushed her deeper into that blackness He pushed her deeper into her silence Deeper driving her mind into hiding With lungs choking dying on that air so violent He said lets try this, but instead it read [Come die with me] [Come die with me] [Come die with me] [Come die with me] And so they laid In the perfect silence that he claimed No words to say No thoughts to share No truths to bear Cuz nothing had changed There she staid In her quiet life still in chains Though she didn’t blame him Coulda made him stop And cop the condom Woulda been safe But safe--is what they would staid Had he staid away, but na He chose to change his fate In hopes of better days ---Both their ways so flawed But morning came And 4 weeks went And come the day she saw The blue dot on the strip That brought the news to drop her jaw Narration: ‘I’m pregnant’ "I-I..."

No--she don’t even speak when She’s needing some peace and She’s feigning some sleep and She leaning off the deep end He seen it first hand twisting jerking Hands upon her lap cuz her wits is burdened By what her lips don’t say Her heart will take a beating It ain’t brave enough to take A stand man A damn action That could counteract The lashins That a child will have to face in this life No he’s not gonna let the kinda pain he’s seen happen twice--no [Dancing to the rhythm of the rain--how could I go wrong?] [Biles ruling my mind--I must have been blind] ----- The pain drowns out in the silence of the night ---- He screams out against no reply He feels hollow As hollow as the bottle With the weight of the hallow night Crushin on him like he’s swallowed Up in this life Like he’s being swallowed up in his mind He can’t take it So he takes out his phone--dials his friend He’s gotta hear a voice so this silence might end “”Wutup”” “I got her pregnant” “”You fucking serious?”” “I can’t take this!” “”Well, ….maybe you don’t have to“” “What the hell you mean man?’ “”Ha, do the math dude, The girl will do anything you tell her to Say your gonna say till she aborts and be through“” [Dancing to the rhythm of the rain--how could I go wrong?] [Biles ruling my mind--I must have been blind] The Rain falls he thinks its all so wrong and The Rain falls he keeps walkin on and The Rain falls begins to change his mind and The Rain falls one mind alone can make it all right Naration: “I need to talk” … “Im coming over”
