Code of Silence

[Verse 1]

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

There's a wall between us and a river so deep

We keep pretending that there's nothing wrong

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

[Verse 2]

Is the truth so elusive, so elusive you see

That it ain't enough baby to bridge the distance between you and me?

There's a list of grievance a hundred miles long

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

[Chorus]

Well, you walk with your eyes open

But your lips, they remain sealed

While the vows we made are broken

'Neath the truth you can't reveal

Well, I need to know now, darlin'

Need to know what's goin' on

Well, come on, come on, come on, come on

Come on, come on, come on

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Now you walk with your eyes open

But your lips, they remain sealed

While the vows we made are broken

'Neath the truth we fear to reveal

I need to know now, darlin'

Need to know what's goin' on

So 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

[Verse 1]

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

A wall between us and the river's deep

We keep pretending that there's nothing wrong

But there's a code of silence and it can't go on (Can't go on), can't go on

[Outro]

And it can't go on

And it can't go on

And it can't go on

It can't go on

And it can't go on

And it can't go on (Can't go on)

And it can't go on (Can't go on)

No, it can't go on (Can't go on)

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah
