can you hear?
i hope you're listening
because i've been thinking about the ocean
between you and me
my ears strain to hear the calling
of shores beyond the seas
crashing waves no answer brings
and i criticized temptation to sew discord
and you treat my supplication with disregard
i lie many times to myself when i was ignored
tell me why you hide
even walls return echoes
and i fall
i fall on my knees as the words compose
i call
questions unanswered from long ago
i laugh at it all
the silence is golden just like idols
even walls
even the walls they return echoes
are you near?
silence is deafening
are you partial to the madmen
who search for the rocks to fling?
is it just the intermission
between act two and three?
i'll hold applause until the fat man sings
and i criticized temptation to sow discord
and you treat my supplication with disregard
i lie many times to myself when i was ignored
tell me why you hide
even walls return echoes
and i fall
i fall on my knees as the words compose
i call
questions unanswered from long ago
i laugh at it all
the silence is golden just like idols
even walls
even the walls they return echoes
even the walls they return echoes
waiting, waiting
anticipating
i'll break down
can't keep this rage in
on this stage we play the villain
bite your tongue
we'll keep on killing
