Lyrics Heart of Darkness - Silence

It's a lie, the grin you wear
You think your face is standing trial
But I can face the truth, I'm not the world
Please don't smile

I am in love with your sadness
with the grace of your despair
You stand tall above the rest
Lifted by the cross you bear
My little heart of darkness
You shine brightly when you wane
Wear no jewelry but your tears
Nothing can outshine your pain

People's pity can be vile
Blunt and cruel as a child
I won't degrade you with compassion
Please don't smile

I am in love with your sadness
with the grace of your despair
You stand tall above the rest
Lifted by the cross you bear
My little heart of darkness
You shine brightly when you wane
Wear no jewelry but your tears
Nothing can outshine your pain

You wear a face to save your face
Cloak your features with denial
But I can face the face you hide
Please don't smile

I am in love with your sadness
with the grace of your despair
You stand tall above the rest
Lifted by the cross you bear
My little heart of darkness
You shine brightly when you wane
Wear no jewelry but your tears
Nothing can outshine your pain
