Gomez - Silence lyrics

I've been caught in a trap I set for myself I don't want to be here when you could be somewhere else So why'd I sit on my hands like a book on a shelf Where nothing but dust is falling? Everyone 'round here lives in silence If I had something to say I'd say what I mean How'd you lose all your words? I swear it's obscene, I curse How'd you look at yourself as the mirror turns green? Yeah, only the fools ignore us Everyone 'round here lives in silence I could wait all my life for someone to think I can't open your eyes but I can make you blink at me So please don't try to be nice, don't need your advice Please leave me to die of boredom Everyone 'round here lives in silence Silence They wait for the end Silence They bow and they bend Silence Their homes they defend Silence
