The Silence

[Verse 1]

Tell me a piece of your history that you're proud to call your own

Speak in words you picked up as you walked through life alone

We used to swim in your stories and be pulled down by their tide

Choking on the words and drowning with no air inside

[Pre-Chorus]

Now, you've hit a wall and it's not your fault

My dear, my dear, my dear

Now, you've hit a wall and you hit it hard

My dear, my dear, oh, dear

[Chorus]

It is not enough to be dumbstruck

Can you fill this silence?

You must have the words

In that head of yours

And, oh-oh, can you feel this silence?

I can't take it anymore

'Cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck

Can you fill this silence?

[Verse 2]

Tell me a piece of your history that you've never said out loud

Pull the rug beneath my feet and shake me to the ground

Wrap me around your fingers, break the silence open wide

Before it seeps into my ears and fills me up from the inside

[Pre-Chorus]

Now, you've hit a wall and you're lost for words

My dear, my dear, my dear

Now, you've hit a wall and you hit it hard

My dear, my dear, oh dear

[Chorus]

It is not enough to be dumbstruck

Can you fill this silence?

You must have the words

In that head of yours

And, oh-oh, can you feel this silence?

I can't take it anymore

'Cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck

Can you fill this silence?

[Bridge]

If you give it a name, then it's already won

What you good for? What you good for?

If you give it a name, then it's already won

What you good for? What you good for?

If you give it a name, then it's already won

What you good for? What you good for?

If you give it a name, then it's already won

What you good for? What you good for?

[Chorus]

It is not enough to be dumbstruck

Can you fill this silence?

You must have the words

In that head of yours

And, oh-oh, can you feel this silence?

I can't take it anymore

'Cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck
