Silver Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've always known an anger
And I've always known a shame
I felt it like a hunger
Before I knew my name
I'm just an empty promise
With nothing much to say
So fill me up with poison
And pour me down the drain

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I was crooked from the cradle
I'm a bastard from the start
And I kept some pretty people
In the hollow of my heart
So spill me all your secrets
I'll sell you off for parts
I'll warm your bed
I'll pull your threads
And fill your head

[Pre-Chorus]
With something dark
Something dark

[Chorus]
And hush now, baby
Don't you cry

I know you're singing
Deep inside
I broke your wings
So you won't fly
You're mine, you'rе mine, you're mine, you'rе my
Bluebird
[Verse 3]
So fill me up with silver
And I'll sing one just for you
And perhaps you'll meet the gambler
And perhaps you'll meet the fool
And if you listen closely
You'll even get the truth
So enjoy the show
I'll let you go
It's all I own

[Pre-Chorus]
These empty rooms
Empty rooms
I'll see ya very soon
I'll see ya

[Chorus]
So hush now, baby
Don't you cry
I know you're singing
Deep inside
Your broken wings
Will never fly
You're mine, you're mine, you're mine, you're my
Bluebird
[Outro]
Ah, it's only a story
It's only a story
It's over, don't worry
It's only a story
It's only a story
It's only a story
Just say it, I'm sorry
Just say it, just say I'm-

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Wunderhorse say about "Silver"?
Genius Answer

Jacob Slater:

[It’s about] that ugly side of yourself that you try to keep a secret, but you know it’s there because it makes your skin crawl sometimes. It gets you places but fucks you up in the process. Everyone has elements of their makeup that they’d rather not admit to or keep locked away and never look at.
