There's a code of silence,

that we don't dare speak

There's a wall between us

So high and so deep

We keep pretending that there's nothing wrong

And there's a code of silence that can't go wrong



Cause the truth's so elusive

So elusive you see

That it ain't enough baby,

To bridge the distance between you and me

Well, there's a list of grievance a hundred miles long

There's a code of silence and it can't go on



Well you walk with your eyes open,

but your lips they remain sealed

All the promises we made are broken

fearing the truth and feeling the fear

Now, I need to know now darlin', need to know what's going on



So come on, come on, come on, come on

come on, come on, come on



Well you walk with your eyes open, but your lips they remained sealed

All the promises we made are broken

With the truth fearing revealed

Now, I need to know now darlin', need to know what's going on



Come on, come on, come on, come on

Come on, come on, come on, come on

Come on, come on, come on, come on

Come on, come on, come on



There's a code of silence, that we don't dare speak

There's a wall between us, so high and so deep

We keep pretending that there's nothing wrong

There's a code of silence, and it can't go on



And it can't go on, and it can't go on

And it can't go on, and it can't go on
