Fable Of The Silent Son
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lost where we can't escape
Blind to our own decay
Lamenting when we can't let go
Until we heal, we die alone
We hope that it's not too late
I used to lie awake
And sing this song
Fear is a hollow place
A dark beyond
The coldest season that
I've ever known
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
Times have changed
And I have changed
It's hard to recognize thе person that I was
But a wasted life is still worth saving
I was too scarеd to fight
Forgiveness wouldn't come
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
Times have changed
Those were the darkest days
I never will return
This I confess so you may learn
Convey the truth, the pain
So you won't have to hurt
Please never second guess these words
Like a phoenix rising from the dust
I've come to lift you up
Like a new day dawning from above in turn
So you may learn
A lesson from the things I've done
A fable of the silent son
And buried way below
We have our deep regrets
With waves of anger to respect
We face our demons with intentions to protect
Our future angels for what's next
Like a phoenix rising from the dust
I've come to lift you up
Like a new day dawning from above in turn
So you may learn
A lesson from the things I've done
A fable of the silent son
A warning of the things to come
Foreshadowing the end for some
Who dare and lose it all
A fable of the silent son
A warning of the things to come
Forgive me for the things I've done
I could have lost it all
I used to lie awake
And sing this song
Fear is the hollow place
A dark beyond
The coldest season that
I've ever known
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
But it's over now
I've learned from my mistakes
Like a phoenix rising from the dust
I've come to lift you up
Like a new day dawning from above in turn
So you may learn
A lesson from the things I've done
A fable of the silent son
A fable of the silent son
A fable of the silent son
