The Suffocating Silence (Live)

Something's going on here – the object is uncertain
 But I can see the makings of a sinister design
 The bristles of the tightening noose are scratching at my throat
 And in Shadows, whispered voices plot to take from me what's mine
 The tension's ever-mounting, and the dam's about to break
 Something's going wrong here – the lines have all been broken
 In the shelter of our silence conflicts keep upon themselves
 We both have our agendas, if only we would voice them
 But the guilt between us widens as we keep them to ourselves
 In the suffocating silence
 attended by our dreams
 this emptiness devours
 In the darkness of desire
 where nothing's as it seems
 our demons lie in wait
 For you and me
 Subconscious acts replace the spoken word and we express with cruelty what we neglect to say
 And everybody's shouting, but no one can hear
 and our desperate ringing fills my ears
 And we all know that words can kill
 but their absence is more lethal still
 Something's going on here... sinister design
 The tension's ever mounting, the dam's about to break
 Failing to discuss it could be our last mistake
