Silence

Light up the cigarette to kill time

pacing this floor another dozen times

if there was some way to express it otherwise

i would

Fed up of fighting over crumbs and dust

don't have to be this way a hollow trust

if we could find some way to make it right

we would, we would

And then the silence came

there was not a word to say

one hour felt like a day

when the silence came

we felt it on our bodies

no way to turn it around

one hour felt like a day

when the silence came

when the silence came

Can't hear nothing but the dripping from the tap

blowing kisses no one will grab

need to organize this life that we have

if we could

God knows what we have sacrificed

guess we deserve the days of our lives

wish we could learn how to let things slide

ohh wait, just for a day

And then the silence came

there was not a word to say

one hour felt like a day

when the silence came

we felt it on our bodies

no way to turn it around

one hour felt like a day

when the silence came

when the silence came

(the silence came)

God knows what we have sacrificed

guess we deserve the days of our lives

wish we could learn how to let things slide

for a day

And then the silence came

there was not a word to say

one hour felt like a day

when the silence came

we felt it on our bodies

no way to turn it around

one hour felt like a day

when the silence came

when the silence came
