[Verse 1]
A war below that can't be seen
Fathoms deep, the mortal shell grows tired
Irrational or pre-determined destiny
Serenity, compulsion crossing wires

[Chorus]
I hate the silent reminders of nothing but heartache
Who's to decide what is right when your choice was cathartic?
I can't forget what I regret
But I accept my punishment
I can't forget our disconnect
The things that we love just hurt us in the end

[Verse 2]
These memories are transient
Could anything have really made a difference?
Could open arms change fractured minds?
Shatter forced perspectives?
Do you still slip through my fingers?

[Chorus]
I hate the silent reminders of nothing but heartache
Who's to decide what is right when your choice was cathartic?
I can't forget what I regret
But I accept my punishment
I can't forget our disconnect
The things that we love just hurt us in the end
[Bridge]
I hate the silent reminders of heartache
I hate the silent reminders of heartache

[Chorus]
I hate the silent reminders of nothing but heartache
Who's to decide what is right when your choice was cathartic?
I can't forget what I regret
But I accept my punishment
I can't forget our disconnect
The things that we love just hurt us in the end

[Outro]
I hate the silent reminders of heartache
I hate the silence
