When the Scream Subsides

CHORUS

(And we talked) just the two of us

(All the time) nothing serious

(We pretend) time is on our side

('Til the end) when the scream subsides

Yes, we had it all, had the key gripped in our hands

We could see the fall as a martyr understands

When the chorus calls there's no room for hope inside

Lose it all when the scream subsides

CHORUS

Yes, we took the role of the lovers and the friends

And we played the parts 'til the words came to an end

But the tongues were tied in the passion and the pride

Wasted all when the scream subsides

(And we talked)

(All the time)

(We pretend)

('Til the end)

CHORUS
