Keep your clever lines
Hold your easy rhymes
Silence everything
Silence always wins
It's a perfect alibi
There's no need to an*lyse
It will be all right
Through the longest night
Just silence everything
As you know
As you know
That's how it all begins
And you know
Yes, you know
They can't touch what lies within
So keep those clever lines
So nice to hide behind
Away from me
Through the longest night
Of our lives
Learn from my mistake
Leave what others take
Speak when spoken to
And do what others do
'Cause silence always wins
So silence everything
It will be all right
In the morning light
Just silence everything
As you know
As you know
They can't touch what lies within
And you know
And you know
That's where it all begins
So keep your clever lines
Hold your easy rhymes
You were quick to judge
Quick to criticise
But too slow to know
What I've realised
Through the longest night
The longest night
Of our lives
