Silence Is A Burden

I seen you running, going to and from the law

on the other side of town where you would never be seen before

your rebel brothers naked in the streets for all

you've never been so pulled, oh now you've got a cause to bleed for

you've never been so pulled, oh now you've got a cause to bleed for



I don't wanna live in the house where silence is a burden

I don't want to live in the house where your memories do all the talking

I've been a lonely man, it's me that you've deserted

whenever I get angry, in your model (?) face comes walking

to haunt me

to haunt me



it's like your namesake, right as rain and clear as snow

what kind of world did you grow up in my sweet girl?

a fighter to the end, the only thing you know

you've had a sad life, it's a crazy crazy mixed up world

you've had a sad life, it's a crazy crazy mixed up world now



I don't wanna live in the house where silence is a burden

I don't want to live in the house where your memories do all the talking

I've been a lonely man, it's me that you've deserted

whenever I get angry, in your model (?) face comes walking

to haunt me

to haunt me



you've had a normal life, I only wanna live

at the bottom of the ocean, with you in the blues and greens

you've had a normal life, I only wanna live

at the bottom of the ocean, with you in the blues and greens

at the bottom of the ocean, with you in the blues and greens



I don't wanna live in the house where silence is a burden

I don't want to live in the house where your memories do all the talking

I've been a lonely man, it's me that you've deserted

whenever I get angry, in your model (?) face comes walking

to haunt me

to haunt me



I could write a book about you

I could write a book about you

I could write a novel

telling all the ways you drive me wild



I could write a book about you

I could write a book about you

I could write a novel

telling all the ways you drive me wild
