Silence Is Ashlee

Silence is golden unless there's a lie in the air
 Then someone should speak up to cover the sound of the truth
 If nobody listens we all can pretend it's not there
 But six billion pairs of ears can be a hard thing to refute
 If you take my hand, I'll try hard to understand
 Oh, Ashlee, what are you saying?
 Those who believe you aren't the only ones paying
 What if you need me, will you know how to call?
 What if you opened your mouth to
 speak, and no one could hear you at all?
 Tina is talking, but no one is pulling her string
 Zoltar won't speak though we've dropped fifty cents in the hole
 No one gets too upset confronted by these little things
 We've learned how not to expect too
 much from objects that don't have a soul
 If you'd share your pain, I'd try hard to help explain
 Oh, Ashlee, what are you saying?
 The kiddies can't follow the notes you're playing
 What if you need me, will you know how to call?
 What if you opened your mouth to speak, and no one could hear you -
 Wind her up, put her down, watch her go, she'll do the rest
 Why don't you wind her up,
 put her down, where she'll go is anybody's guess
 But men have died for less
 Oh, Ashlee, what are you saying?
 The gig should be over, but mother's still praying
 What if you need me, will you know how to call?
 What if you opened your mouth to
 speak, and no one could hear you at all?
