Silence

I've been caught in a trap I set for myself

I don't want to be here when you could be somewhere else

So why'd I sit on my hands like a book on a shelf
Where only dust is falling
Everyone 'round here lives in silence

If I had something to say I'd say what I mean

How'd you lose all your words I swear it's obscene I curse

How'd you look at yourself as the mirror turns green
Yeah only the fools ignore us
Everyone 'round here lives in silence

I could wait all my life for someone to think

I can't open your eyes but I can make you blink at me

So please don't try to be nice don't need your advice
Please leave me to die of boredom
Everyone 'round here lives in silence

Silence
They wait for the end
Silence
They bow and they bend
Silence
Their homes they defend
Silence
