STARTERS LYRICS

"Like A Cancer Grows"

TELL ME WHAT THE SECRET IS

Silence grows...
It ebbs and flows...
And finds its way into my mouth

(There’s a hush and it’s building slow
Takes my voice in a grip
And won’t let go)

It’s all consuming...
It will consume me...
If I cannot keep it out

(Won’t matter what I really know
When I can’t let it slip
Can’t shake this hold)

My world it shakes beneath me
And when I fall, I won’t fall lightly
My words they shake through my teeth
They don’t come easily...

Silence grows...
It ebbs and flows...
And pretty soon it will overtake me

(There’s a hush and it’s building slow
Takes my voice in a grip
And won’t let go)

It’s all consuming...
It will consume me...
If I cannot keep it out

(Won’t matter what I really know
When I can’t let it slip
Can’t shake this hold)

And my world it shakes beneath me
And when I fall I won’t fall lightly
My words they shake through my teeth
They don’t come easily...

So will I speak the truth or keep my image safe and hold my tongue?
The longer I wait, the chance, it slips away
Will I speak the truth or keep my image safe and hold my tongue?
I’ve always suppressed the words I need to say

And I don’t know what the trouble is...
I just keep holding on with my fingertips, never far from the outside.
And all I know is I don’t belong...
I just keep my eyes straight, keep my distance
And don’t say a word

I don’t know what the trouble is
I just keep holding back
No I don’t know what the trouble is
I’ve just been holding my breath for days

Will I speak the truth or keep my image safe and hold my tongue?
The longer I wait, the chance, it slips away
Will I speak the truth or keep my image safe and hold my tongue?
I’ve always suppressed the words I need to say
Will I speak the truth or keep my image safe and hold my tongue?
The longer I wait, the more I slip away ... away further from you
