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
|
