Lyrics for Silverfish

At last she comes Oh never more, In this dear patience of my pain To leave me lonely as before Or leave my soul alone again At last alone again In this deep silence, no one stirs Even the wind, she holds her breath The empty echo now assures My quiet comfort, still as death In this, as still as death This book I write holds still the dance And deafening din of tales recalled Please crack this spine and break this trance Lay siege to this heart in which I'm walled At last I dance again A silverfish swims through a sea of frozen words
