Passive Resistance

This crystalline shield
This invincible force field
A prison of my own making

This armour that keeps
Dreams of inner peace
Under my skin
(Where I'm)
Free to resolve the state I'm in

Disengage and rearrange
This diametric self within
It's just the way it's always been

If I say nothing at all
What is left to lose
If I build nothing but walls
It's better than disappointing you

The cage that keeps the horror in me
(It's better than disappointing you)
Self-contained in a silent rage
(What else am I supposed to do)
I can't relay everything I wish to say
(It's only my point of view)
So I walk away

Still waters run deep
There's nothing I won't take
A passive resistance
As calm as the coming of a storm

Quiet as I can keep
A slow-motion earthquake
A paralyzing heaviness
Before I lose control

If I say nothing at all
What is left to lose
If I hide behind these walls
I'll never disappoint you
If I say nothing at all
I have no excuse
And I'll always take the fall
If it means I still have you
