Gomez - Silence lyrics

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

When 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
