lyrics
Silence.
The years that she wears are only measured by,
The twisting of the tops release all her daily sighs,
As I I'm sitting in my castle with disguise.
The rent of the world is quickly catching up,
The twisting of the tops decide who's going to drain her cups,
As I I'm sitting in my fortress with disguise.
And Silence is all that she needs,
We suffer ourselves to believe,
That sitting on the fence is just the same as reaching out a helping hand.
The face that she paints is somewhat glamorous,
The walk and talk and touch of kings is deftly flashed to us,
As I I'm sitting in my castle with disguise.
Shhhh it's a day and it's a life we all can't be that saint,
It's her choice and it's her life to twist that top,
As I I'm sitting in my castle with disguise.
If Silence is golden, how much would she pay,
If Silence is golden, there's nothing left to say,
If Silence is golden....me well I'd take the silver and damn the day...
The years that she wears are only measured by,
The twisting of the tops release all her daily sighs,
As I I'm sitting in my castle with disguise.
The rent of the world is quickly catching up,
The twisting of the tops decide who's going to drain her cups,
As I I'm sitting in my fortress with disguise.
And Silence is all that she needs,
We suffer ourselves to believe,
That sitting on the fence is just the same as reaching out a helping hand.
The face that she paints is somewhat glamorous,
The walk and talk and touch of kings is deftly flashed to us,
As I I'm sitting in my castle with disguise.
Shhhh it's a day and it's a life we all can't be that saint,
It's her choice and it's her life to twist that top,
As I I'm sitting in my castle with disguise.
If Silence is golden, how much would she pay,
If Silence is golden, there's nothing left to say,
If Silence is golden....me well I'd take the silver and damn the day...
