Silent Type

Started out wanted to be the same
Wanted to walk into the crowd
Wanted American name
They said, "Hey, don't be too quiet, don't you talk too much"
They wanted me to mention
Tone it down a touch, it's a must
Starting now, I'm gonna be myself
Even if myself is mouthing off to G-d herself
Can't you tell?
Every element of my own skin
That I keep keeping in
I just keep keeping in

I'll just be
I'll just be
The silent type
Be
I guess I'll just be
The silent type

I remember when
I remember when I was
The silent type
I guess I'll just be
The silent type

I heard it loud that I could keep my place
Long as I just play nice
Long as I change my face
Any case
Not my fault that they fear for their lives
'Cause I bleed but don't die, let it bleed
I don't try, I'll survive

You know Lilith, I'm a bit like you
I'd rather take the fall than be told what to do
As for you
I'll forgive, but I'm not over it
I know your day of reckoning just hasn't happened yet

'Til then I'll just be
I'll just be
The silent type
Be
Be
The silent type
Be
I'll just be
I guess I'll just be
I'll just be
The silent type

Be
Be
The silent type
Be
I'll just be
The silent type

Guess I'll just be
The silent type
I remember when, I remember when I was
The silent type
The silent type

I remember when, I remember when I was
