Lyrics
The Silence
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why can't we just work things out, what are you so afraid of?
Sit and reason or stand and shout, show me what you're made of
How long will it be 'til you return my call? if the bridges have all burned down, scream across the chasm
But if you don't want me around, you can make it happen
But I don't believe were better off that way
You ain't said a word, so I'll do all the talking
(Chorus)
Somebody tell me why we're fighting, I forget myself sometimes
Silence is the weapon, hurts me more, than any other in this war
And what could be so conclusive, to make love so elusive?
Silence is the weapon, hurts me more, than any other in this war
Am I talking to a wall, should I try graffiti?
Is this war
Am I talking to a wall, should I try graffiti?
Is there any use at all, in drawing up a treaty?
'cause don't feel so optimistic these days
We don't have to kiss, I just want to make up
Got no peace of mind, got no axe to grind
Somebody tell me, how the hand of kindness turned into a fist
Has it come down to this, will you ever want to talk about it?
What's with all the fuss, what's become of us?
