A proud hush had taken hold
and you worshipped at its feet
But calm was not long for this world
Calm was not long for this world
I took up arms and you begged let it be
but reason don't live here no more
Reason don't live here no more
Step aside it's not worth your life
What is this peace
that you sneak off to at night
What sacred spot will I be buried in
when I have covered every
inch of land in terribleness
I have declared a war
on the silence before the storm
I have declared a war
on the silence before the storm
Don't stop to think
Just end all good things while you can
End all good things while you can
Ruin all the love that you have
or that god damned thing
is bound to come back in spades
Step aside it's not worth your life
I am the fear that drags you into the light
I've covered every inch
of land in terribleness
by leading a war on the silence
before the storm
Take the stillness out back
and put it on its knees
Stop your crying
Who do you love anyway
Who do you love
What does he have that
I don't have except you
