Silken Robe Lyrics

If I scream into these sheets when I'm alone

Does it make some kind of sound

With no one here to hear it

Tearing through my throat

If I raise my eyes to see a silken robe

As dark as starless night

Do I still have a say in

When it's time to go

I just can't care anymore

Should my footsteps fall

Without pause towards the end

How sufficient was my love

More or less than final

Words between two friends

"You are a home to me" is what you always said

So in this quiet, empty place

All I can ask is if I stopped giving you that

Sorry I'm so absent

I'm just so scared anymore

Feels like someone's going to

Pull the fucking floor

Sorry I'm so quiet

I just can't talk anymore

Every word drives the blade

Deeper than before

I've been so scared of failing

I just can't care anymore

There is a point at which sleep

Is more for shelter than rest

I cannot speak any healing

Pummeled and out of breath

I cannot make you believe

That I love you to death

I cannot spread any hope

If I don't have any left

Light bursts from the side

When my hand stings my face

And it doesn't chase the darkness

I've created away

And it doesn't change the way

You will remember my name

I fucking promise it's me

I fucking swear I'm the same

Sat reclined, driver's side

And the rain understood

I can't be rid of my bad

I can't be rid of my good

I cannot choose which

Parts of me are misunderstood

I can choose which parts of me

Die underfoot, yeah
