From the recording Dysphoria Riot
Lyrics
I wrote you letters in silence, spoken glances so often true
Built a temple out of secrets, lit the stars just to guide you through
But you walk past every alter, you never pause to read the signs
I was fluent in forever and you were lost between my lies
Gave you every shade of meaning
Every word my heart could dream
But you heard it like a whisper
In a world that ignored my screams
Loved you in a language you never learned
Every word a flame but you never burned
Wrapped my heart in versus you never read
Screamed faithful in a dialect left for dead
You held my hand but never held the truth
I loved you in a language that spoke of... you
I traced your name in morning light, in melodies you could not hear
You danced to rhythm's out of sync, while I bled from torture and fear
I translated all my longing, into gestures into praise
But then you mistook my heartbreak, for a lost smile upon my face
Gave you every shade of meaning
Every word my heart could dream
But you heard it like a whisper
In a world that ignored my screams
Loved you in a language you never learned
Every word a flame but you never burned
Wrapped my heart in versus you never read
Screamed faithful in a dialect left for dead
You held my hand but never held the truth
I loved you in a language that spoke of... you
And now I scream in silence, in the ruins of my tomb
You were fluent in leaving, I was fluent in doom
And if someday you listen, to the silence that remains
You'll hear the song I made you, in the spaces between pain
Loved you in a language you never learned
Every word a flame but you never burned
Wrapped my heart in versus you never read
Screamed faithful in a dialect left for dead
You held my hand but never held the truth
I loved you in a language that spoke of... you
