Silence Is Louder Than Words
Talking the talk and walking the walk
That's what's supposed to get you by
Waiting, watching, listening to nothing
Because silence is louder than words.
Sitting, wondering, waiting for nothing
The truth lies in your eyes
The pain the sorrow, the hopes for no tomrrow
Is the loudest scream that's never heard
Battle scars and invisible wounds,
Invincible to everything, according to those who claim they know you
You wait, you watch, you listen
The misery is so obviously hidden
Because silence is louder than words
So make your words quick, and make your words count
before you know it, you'll be down and out
when the chance is given
Make the silence listen.
