Sworn to Silence Songtext
von Counterparts

Sworn to silence
Not another sterile sound
Will escape from my jaw

Sworn to silence
Pry open my mouth
Pulling teeth to place within your palms

Tear into my throat and gather for yourself
The final act of charity I wasn′t fit to give
Forced remembrance will pour out of my head
And evaporate before it hits the ground

Using knives to rewrite my last rites

Sworn to silence
Not another sterile sound
Will escape from my jaw

Sworn to silence
Pry open my mouth
Pulling teeth to place within your palms


Drain the blood I couldn't rеtain
Drain my blood to purge you of pain

Drain the blood
Vacant and vain

Tear into my throat and gathеr for yourself
A scripture insincere unfit to preach in faith
Forced remembrance will pour out of my head
Devoid of the nourishment you need

Using knives to rewrite my last rites

Using knives to rewrite my last rites

Sworn to silence
Not another sterile sound
Will escape from my jaw

Sworn to silence
Pry open my mouth
Pulling teeth to place within your palms

Drain the blood (Drain the blood)
I couldn′t retain (I couldn't retain)
Drain the blood
To purge you of pain
