These sanguine lines fall flat across the midnight
Have we spent our years chasing after foolish things
These tattered dreams are old
And have worn out their welcome so it seems

Let's chalk it up to blindfold optimisim
Let's walk it off until these hopes and lies have lost their sheen inside the morning

And you won't believe me if I tell you
That theres a world where we take each others call
But all the silence
Oh the silence, says it all

Indifference is another shape of violence
If I could care less maybe I'll leave you caring more
These years have left these images distorted in my mind from before

And you won't believe me if I say it
That theres a world where we might have worked it out
But all the silence
Ode to silence
Oh the silence
All the silence is screaming now

And you won't believe me if I write it
That theres a world where this might have ended well
But all the silence
Ode to silence
Oh the silence
All the silence has more to tell
