lyrics

Listen
Why won't you listen
It's hard enough for me to deal with my own
Listen
Just keep your distance
'Cause my mind is dangerous
And this time I'm serious with you

Still and unblemished, we dance
Hiding daggers on our tactful tongues
I'll speak so the points are all dulled
But your lips stay shut
Am I not to trust?

Just say it
Tell what's untold
Color me helpless, but anything's better than silence
Yeah, I'll take it
Rendered alone
Caught in the absence to handle this all on my own

Vicious
I'm calloused and curious
To see just how much you can take
Speak up
It's your turn to clean up this mess that we've made
I'm placing the blame
What more can I say?
I'm leaving this place without you

In photographs stuck to the page
Both our eyes are filled with our silent dreams
Lacking in motion, we speak from the stolen times
Are you alive?

And why can't you say it
Tell what's untold
Color me helpless, but anything's better than silence
Yeah, well I'll take it
Rendered alone
Caught in the absence to handle this all on my own
