Silent Films

They're watching us silent films
Waiting for the violins to creak
There's something 'round the corner
Who's the first to go and take a peek?
This reel is old and rusted
But the story still remains
You're living for the moment
And I'm turning every page
And I wish things could be easier
But they never seem to be
If we could read between the lines
Imagine what we'd see
In our own silent films
They're lining up like railway cars
Tickets for the early matinée
How can you like normal
When all the world is acting like a stage?
This script is so outdated
But this story is still the same
You're living for the moment
And I'm turning every page
And I wish things could be easier
But they never seem to be
If we could read between the lines
Imagine what we'd see
In our own silent films
This reel is old and rusted
But the story still remains
You're living for the moment
And I'm turning every page
And I wish things could be easier
But they never seem to be
If we could read between the lines
Imagine what we'd see
In our own silent films
In our own silent films
