Lyrics
I need to break the silence
I feel the need to end the silence
But I can't speak
But I find myself unable to express my thoughts verbally
My heart is wrapped around my throat
My emotions are overwhelming, causing a constriction in my throat
Somebody start the fire
Expressing a desire for a dramatic change or resolution
I need a drink
Seeking solace or distraction through alcohol
Then we can slide into our roles
After having a drink, we can conform to societal expectations
I'm loveless
Expressing a lack of love or emotional connection
It must be so
Suspecting that the lack of love is a reality
How could I live with this on me
Questioning the ability to cope with the emotional burden
I need to start the violence
Feeling a need to confront and escalate a situation
I need to hear
Desiring to confront and face the consequences of one's actions
The screaming horror of my words
Expressing the intense and terrifying impact of spoken words
And there's no peace
Highlighting the absence of peace due to past actions
For what I've done
Acknowledging and remorseful for the negative consequences of actions
It doesn't seem
Suggesting a feeling of not achieving victory or success
As If I won
Reflecting on the sense of failure despite efforts
And honestly
Expressing honesty about internal brokenness
I'm a broken dove
Metaphorically describing oneself as a broken dove
Who cannot bleed
Emphasizing an inability to bleed, possibly indicating emotional numbness
Who's not enough
Feeling inadequate or insufficient
I'm an atrocious liar
Admitting to being a terrible liar
I need to leave
Expressing the urgent need to leave a situation or relationship
Why can't we leave ourselves
Questioning the difficulty of leaving one's own self or identity
It doesn't feel
Describing a lack of emotional connection with others
Like anyone
Feeling isolated or disconnected from everyone
It doesn't seem
Reiterating a sense of not achieving victory or success
As if won
Expressing a feeling of failure despite efforts
And honestly
Acknowledging internal brokenness and vulnerability
I'm a fallen dove
Metaphorically describing oneself as a fallen dove
Who cannot feel
Emphasizing an inability to feel, suggesting emotional numbness
Who's not enough
Feeling inadequate or insufficient
How safe, how safe with anybody
Expressing a desire for safety and security with someone
Hands, only hands
Highlighting the importance of touch or physical comfort
