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 But 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 conflicts 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 Attended 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 expect with cruelty what we neglect to say
And everybody's shouting, but no one can hear And only desperate ringing fills my ears And we all know that words can kill But their absence is more lethal still
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
