My Silencer
-written by Jeremy Gloff

-appears on Now's The Right Time To Feel Good (2006)




THE LYRICS:
I’d feel most useful
When you were hurting
Secretly wished tragedy on you
At an advantage as you were gaping
Available very temporarily

We never picked flowers
Celebrated my victories
You’re somewhat simple
With defenses on
A father’s who’s absent
Oblivious mother
A heart that was kicked by 200 feet

Chorus:
But now it’s my turn for unbridled desperation
And you won’t even look me in the face
But with every death comes a resurrection
I took my silencer off...

Jealous of boyfriend
Jealous of girlfriend
Emotional rest stop at your service dear
I shouldn’t be your date
Or carry the guilt weight
Can’t live knowing everything’s never enough

I couldn’t let go
I wasn’t taught how to
Years stack get buried and get locked in
The source of addictions
Emotional handcuffs
‘Til somebody mines the love that’s there

Repeat Chorus

(Listen to me...)
Maybe now I can love...
