Crimson Veil - 21 Grams of Silence Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Twenty-one grams of silence between us
Your shadow weighs more than your presence ever did
Mama worked doubles while you played pretend
Council estate dreams, now I know what you did
Behind prison bars, your truth finally slips

[Chorus]
Twenty-one grams of your poison in my blood
Can't wash it out, Lord knows that I've tried
Twenty-one grams of the pain you left behind
Your secrets eating me alive

[Verse 2]
Found your old mugshots in mama's drawer
Your eyes cold as steel, but they look just like mine
Inherited more than just your f*cking name
Got your demons dancing in my DNA
Every night I fight not to be the same

[Bridge]
They say the soul weighs twenty-one grams when it leaves
But your ghost been crushing me since I was thirteen
Mama's tears on Sunday mornings
While you were out there scoring
Now I'm grown, but still can't shake these chains

[Chorus]
Twenty-one grams of your poison in my blood
Can't wash it out, Lord knows that I've tried
Twenty-one grams of the pain you left behind
Your secrets eating me alive

[Outro]
I'm breaking this silence
Burning your alibis
Twenty-one grams lighter
Without your lies
Without your lies
Baby, without your lies
