covered it up with a question mark

covered it with a crowd

keeping myself among the proud

i don't believe anyone could love

anyone less if they tried

i smiled at you and died inside, inside

i heard the voice i knew

covered it over with thoughts of you and i'll

never keep it silent anymore, silent anymore, anymore

silently think of a prayer for me

voice it inside your head

maybe i need to hear it said

sometimes the word condemns the thought

so they're held a lot

silence is golden when i'm not, i'm not

whether it's God or it's you

i need to speak and be spoken to

i can't stand this silence anymore, silence anymore, anymore

i can't stand it anymore, silence anymore

no not anymore, anymore
