Silence The royal cul-de-sac It shatters you to pieces Slowly breaks your neck And all the sweating All the shivering we've done is worthless Longing for a warmth that only fire can give You're just as dead, bring on the gasoline We're burning to be seen Your soup has gone cold. My drink's warmed up Is anyone listening? Cause I think you're not It's this mediocrity of everything That keeps my eyes shut in the morning I've seen you Busy putting holes into the ground Making seeds grow to be gallows To let your fears hang down And the cops won't come in time to stop you leaving You caught me blind in your headlights Come find me on the other side Silence A hollow victory Can't really say how one tells it from defeat It's been a long job piecing this together, love A whole that must spell Death To Us We must burn. We must burn Drown in the heat I've seen you Busy putting holes into the ground Making seeds grow to be gallows To let your fears hang down And the cops won't come in time to stop you leaving You caught me blind in your headlights Come find me on the other side And I've seen you Busy putting pins into my eyes So I can't see where you're going Once we've said goodbye And the cops can go to hell and take us with them You caught me blind in your headlights I'll see you in another life
