lyrics

I was never a small child
always been too loud
followed by this dark cloud
and in all my violent swells
I guess you could always tell
I will never be an ebbing tide
so you told me you could never be
near me when I frowned,
you might drown
you might drown
so I put on a smile for you and now it’s me drowning

Silent Hysteria, oh, Silent Hysteria
drink it down, drink it down

oh, now you must never find me
I know I cannot stay
I’m floating away
‘cause when I look into your eyes
my worst fears are realized
you see me as some player in a scene
well what’s the point of all this misery
in lieu of vulnerability,
light the match, set me free
set me free
oh, you tell everybody that I’m so fucking crazy

Silent Hysteria, oh, Silent Hysteria
drink it down, drink it down

don't be hysterical, girl, this is a man's world
don't be hysterical, girl, this is a man's world
drink it down, drink it down
Silent Hysteria, oh, Silent Hysteria
