Silence Lyrics - Split The Difference - Gomez

I've been caught in a trap I set for myself 

I don't want to be here when you could be somewhere else 

So why'd I sit on my hands like a book on a shelf 

Where nothing but dust is falling? 

Everyone 'round here lives in silence 

If I had something to say I'd say what I mean 

How'd you lose all your words? I swear it's obscene, I curse 

How'd you look at yourself as the mirror turns green? 

Yeah, only the fools ignore us 

Everyone 'round here lives in silence 

I could wait all my life for someone to think 

I can't open your eyes but I can make you blink at me 

So please don't try to be nice, don't need your advice 

Please leave me to die of boredom 

Everyone 'round here lives in silence 

Silence 

(They wait for the end) 

Silence 

(They bow and they bend) 

Silence 

(Their homes they defend) 

Silence
