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 thinDeny 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 belongAnd 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 thinBuried 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 fineAnd 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
