Exaggerate what the words won't say Build an argument against yourself Sit this one out As the silent treatment speaks The walls are coming down All we need is One to fail, one to break One to take it all away What if we crumble, What if we fall Where is the flame That torch the soul Thruth when spoken Dies down to nothing We challanged the light and flame And settled for the dark With pressure built to a point Deflated before its time We set our world on fire Yet lost the will to burn Not set a tone but a distance Whatever validates The anger kept inside Nothing ties the world to me Not in a page of history Cannot talk the pain away Nothing ties the world to me The silent treatment gets to me So few and far between These great dividing acts Behind those silent eyes
