Tori Amos
Silent All These Years
Excuse me, but can I be you for a while?
My dog won't bite if you sit real still
Got the Antichrist in the kitchen yellin' at me again
Yeah, I can hear that

I don't care 'cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice
And it's been here
Silent all these years

My screams got lost in a paper cup
Do you think there's a heaven where some screams have gone?
I got 25 bucks and a cracker
Do you think it's enough to get us there?

But I don't care 'cause sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice
And it's been here
Silent all these years

Years go by
Will I still be waiting for somebody else to understand?
Years go by
If I'm stripped of my beauty and the orange clouds raining in my head
Years go by
Will I choke on my tears 'til finally there is nothing left?
One more casualty
And you know we're too easy, easy, easy
And it's been here
Silent all these years
