The Suffocating Silence Songtext
von Redemption

Something′s going on here
The object is unspoken
But I can see the makings of a sinister design
The bristles of the tightening noose
Are scratching at my throat
And in shadows whispered voices plot
To take from me what's mine

The tension′s ever mounting
And the dam's about to break

Something's going wrong here
The lines have all been broken
In the shelter of our silence
Conflict′s feed upon themselves
We both have our agendas
If only we would voice them
But the gulf between us widens
As we keep them to ourselves


The tension′s ever mounting
And the dam's about to break
In the suffocating silence
Untended by our dreams
This emptiness devours
In the darkness of desire
Where nothing′s as it seems
Our demons lie in wait for you and me

Subconscious acts
Replace the spoken word
And we express with cruelty
What we neglect to say

And everybody's shouting
But no one can hear
And only desperate screaming fills my ears
And we all know
That words can kill
But their absence is more lethal
In the suffocating silence
Untended by our dreams
This emptiness devours

In the darkness of desire
Where nothing′s as it seems
Our demons lie in wait for you and me


Something's going on here
The object is unspoken
But I can see the makings of a sinister design
The tension′s ever mounting
The dam's about to break
Failing to discuss it
Could be our last mistake
