We live for the greater, We live for the good
|
At least that's what I thought, She understood
|
So why then the phone call, The torrent of words
|
That dismissed the past decades, And deemed them absurd?
|
|
And what did you think about, Think about with her?
|
And what did you talk about, Talk about with her?
|
|
There's nothing that I wouldn't do, To remedy this thing for you
|
If silence means that much to you, Then I promise to keep silent, too
|
Bear in mind one final thing, The solitude that it will bring
|
If silence outlives everything, The residue will never thin
|
|
Deny me the first time, Deny me then twice
|
But not once again, If you value this life
|
The oldest is broken, The youngest clings on
|
But the middle tries hard, To still belong
|
|
And what did you think about, Think about with her?
|
And what did you talk about, Talk about with her?
|
|
There's nothing that I wouldn't do, To remedy this thing for you
|
If silence means that much to you, Then I promise to keep silent, too
|
Bear in mind one final thing, The solitude that it will bring
|
If silence outlives everything, The residue will never thin
|
|
Buried alive, And with nobody watching
|
Severed all ties, With the mother of lies
|
No circle of friends, No scattering ashes
|
Just hang up the line, And pray you'll be fine
|
|
And what did you think about, Think about with her?
|
And what did you talk about, Talk about with her?
|
|
There's nothing that I wouldn't do, To remedy this thing for you
|
If silence means that much to you, Then I promise to keep silent, too
|
Bear in mind one final thing, The solitude that it will bring
|
If silence outlives everything, The residue will never thin
|
