"Silk" lyrics
They come to the door and ask you which side you're on
They tell you the time has come to sing
They'll say that there's just a little work to be done
And there is a plan for everything
They'll tell you they're built
For a life of swagger and silk
For a life lived up to the hilt
But you'll be the one they blame for the shame in their eyes
The voices that crack are first to fall from the chorus
Because there is a plan for everything
But whispers carry the melody home for us
And we find our own words to sing
We tell you we're built
To be blind to the staggering guilt
For a chance to flower and wilt
And how well you tailor your lies
And how well they will remember the day that you die
They tell you the time has come to sing
They'll say that there's just a little work to be done
And there is a plan for everything
They'll tell you they're built
For a life of swagger and silk
For a life lived up to the hilt
But you'll be the one they blame for the shame in their eyes
The voices that crack are first to fall from the chorus
Because there is a plan for everything
But whispers carry the melody home for us
And we find our own words to sing
We tell you we're built
To be blind to the staggering guilt
For a chance to flower and wilt
And how well you tailor your lies
And how well they will remember the day that you die
