The silence

Was it something that we did
To turn your back on us forever
And yeah, that would be unfair

Is this what you wanted
The silence (so deafening)it hurts

If you'd ever listen
You would hear it for yourself

Was it something that we did
To give us light and never guide us
To which direction we should go

And we need a miracle
Something biblical
So come down and take it out on us

Is this what you wanted
The silence (so deafening) it hurts

If you'd ever listen
You would hear it for yourself

Is that what you wanted
The silence (so deafening)

If you'd ever listen
You would hear it for yourself

And nothing says you love us
Quite like judgment
And nothing says you hear our cries
Quite like silence

I've seen enough of this in a lifetime
To know that I can't make a difference... then I guess I'll make a point

And I will repent
When the snake has bitten through my skin
And the poison has set in

Is this what you wanted
The silence (so deafening) it hurts

If you'd ever listen
You would hear it for yourself

Is this what you wanted
The silence (so deafening) it hurts

If you'd ever listen
You would hear it for yourself
Hear it for yourself
Hear it for yourself...
