5 Years of Silence Lyrics

You destroyed me!

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
Is going to take more than
five years of silence and
drugs to repair

'cause you're blinded by greed
you got the liar's disease
I think emotional
blackmail
is fair

I think a violent disease would be
fair

Can't you see
that you're dying alone
Dying alone
Can't you see
that you're dying alone
Dying alone
Can't you see
that you're dying alone
Dying alone

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
Is going to take more than
five years of silence and
drugs to repair

I think a violent disease would be
fair

Can't you see
that you're dying alone
Dying alone
Can't you see
that you're dying alone
Dying alone

You destroyed me
You destroyed me
You destroyed me
You destroyed me

You destroyed me

five years of silence
five years of silence
five years of silence
five years of life alone

You destroyed me
You destroyed me
You destroyed me
You destroyed me
You destroyed me
You destroyed me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this is my fav song by sunk loto and one of my songs by an aussie artist. It goes of live too. also the entire between birth and death album is dedicated to one of their mates who died of a drug overdose. Its a very angry and also sad song at the same time the chorus sounds like its directed towards their mate who died whereas the verse seems to be from his perspective i dunno though just my thoughts
