[Intro — Clean]
Cobwebs in the rooms of my mind
There ain’t a thought that’s inside
Memories I try to deny
’Cause they only seem to show the worst parts of me
And I think it’s best if I remain cold and lonely
[Chorus — Clean]
So I’d rather be in darkness on my own
Than to deal with thoughts I try to keep on hold
And it might seem wrong, but trust it’s for the best
Because silence is the only way I’ll rest
[Verse — Clean]
But there are times I barely sleep at night
’Cause the memories try to flood these halls
And I’m asked if I will sink or swim
But I’d rather pull the plug and let it go
Down into the drain so it won’t be a problem—
one more thing to solve; let it flow to the aquifer
Down, down below where it can be forgotten
Where nobody will go; all I know is…
[Chorus — Clean w/ layered fry]
I’d rather be in darkness on my own
Than to deal with thoughts I try to keep on hold
And it might seem wrong, but trust it’s for the best
Because silence is the only way I’ll rest
[Bridge — Fry]
And as I isolate
I feel my mental state
Rot and deteriorate
Silence the noise and let me rest
Trust it’s for the best
[Chorus — Clean + Fry]
So I’d rather be in darkness on my own
Than to bring up thoughts I try to keep on hold
And it might seem wrong, but trust it’s for the best
Because silence is the only way I’ll rest
(The only way I’ll rest)
And it’s best if I don’t think or feel at all
'Cause it seems like that’s where all my problems fall
(’Cause it seems like that’s where all my problems fall)
And I’ll fade away until there’s nothing left
(And I’ll fade away until there’s nothing left)
Because silence is the only way I’ll rest
(Because silence is the only way)
(The only way I'll Rest)
[Outro — Fry]
Trust it’s for the best
