So, close your eyes
Your Christ has come
The crippled boy that you once knew
The charmed enigma
Chosen one with painted lips
Skin ripped and torn
Come touch and feel and lick and smell
This envy that I've worn so well
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time
So drink me in
Like tainted wine
Come bite down on my sharpened cup
And taste the dreams that numb the mind
A simple word
A harmless glare
That binds me with the thinnest thread
And pins me down to pleasure's bed
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs
In time
And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to my chest
We are silver
So shy and poised with few regrets
A Judas kill
A complex thrill
A memory I won't soon forget
Been washed out clean till all runs dry
Come touch and feel and lick and smell
A hurt that only you could sell
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time
And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Smothered to my breast
We are silver
Trip sister I will follow you this time
Knowing I will follow you
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time
And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to your breast
We are silver, silver
(Silver) we are silver
Silver, silver
We are silver
Your Christ has come
The crippled boy that you once knew
The charmed enigma
Chosen one with painted lips
Skin ripped and torn
Come touch and feel and lick and smell
This envy that I've worn so well
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time
So drink me in
Like tainted wine
Come bite down on my sharpened cup
And taste the dreams that numb the mind
A simple word
A harmless glare
That binds me with the thinnest thread
And pins me down to pleasure's bed
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs
In time
And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to my chest
We are silver
So shy and poised with few regrets
A Judas kill
A complex thrill
A memory I won't soon forget
Been washed out clean till all runs dry
Come touch and feel and lick and smell
A hurt that only you could sell
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time
And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Smothered to my breast
We are silver
Trip sister I will follow you this time
Knowing I will follow you
Everybody wants
Everybody says
Everybody begs in time
And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver
Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to your breast
We are silver, silver
(Silver) we are silver
Silver, silver
We are silver

I agree with Yelraek I too believe this song s about the assimilation of society. Assimilation is the process by which a person or persons acquire the social & psychological characteristics of a group. Furthermore, cultural assimilation is the process in which a minority group or culture comes to resemble those of a dominant group. Society may appear like silver, shiny, looks good, though often materialistic & still below the surface there's often a black tarnish. Be weary & cautious of this as you go through life and make sure you remain yourself at all times & not part of that pool of that tarnishing silver.
