Go tell your mother, don't take this cup
Damage done, done enough
The visible bruises, invisible stains
The reign of holy terror in the garden with the snake

(Chorus) I'll not keep quiet
I will not keep, quiet
I will not keep, quiet
No more soothing and smoothing it over
Soothing and smoothing it over
Soothing and smoothing….

Seclusion's weakened you, you can't stand up
I failed to notice, I failed us
All the helpful angels, ignoring your abuse
Have awakened to your cries at night
From sleeping in the pews

(Chorus) And will not keep quiet
They will not keep, quiet
They will not keep, quiet
Soothing and smoothing it over
Soothing and smoothing it over
Soothing and smoothing….

I have not forgotten, I'm tracking your despair
Til I get you safely away from there

(Chorus) I'll not keep quiet I will not keep, quiet
I will not keep, quiet
No more soothing and smoothing it over
Soothing and smoothing it over
Soothing and smoothing….
