If you hit me with words you don't say, it still hurts
So I'll hit you back by biting my tongue
And we'll have a war without any volume
And I will remember, I'll just remember the sounds we used to make
But memories have no noise
Memories have no voice
Our tragedy, it lies in the silence
The still of the storm
The quiet violence
It's wrapped itself in blankets and pillows and gone to sleep
Our tragedy is the mouths with no motion
The questions we ask, but the answers unspoken
We sit here together, we laugh and we smile but we bleed.
We sat in the back row together
I couldn't really see above the tall people sitting in front of me
So I closed my eyes real tight and I listened
And I can remember, I still remember we didn't need to speak
But memories have no sound
Memories can't speak out loud
Our tragedy, it lies in the silence
The still of the storm
The quiet violence
It's wrapped itself in blankets and pillows and gone to sleep
Our tragedy is the mouths with no motion
The questions we ask, but the answers unspoken
We sit here together, we laugh and we smile but we bleed.
Love is not implied
Love is not implied
Love is not implied
Love is not implied
Our tragedy, it lies in the silence
The still of the storm
The quiet violence
It's wrapped itself in blankets and pillows and gone to sleep
Our tragedy is the mouths with no motion
The questions we ask, but the answers unspoken
We sit here together, we laugh and we smile but we bleed.
