A Mutual Silence

lyrics

A MUTUAL SILENCE

Well lesson number one
is followed by
Indecision
A mark of my imprecision
And lesson number two
This incendiary device I give to you
The lesson that we're learning from this zone
It's all I have to realise that
So many days are lost in
Mutual silence of the most unfriendly kind
Unkindly
Untimely way to pass the time of day

Who can do pain better than you?
It's like a wreck of art
And where does the landscape end?
Oh tell me now

Well here's another moment from your past
And I'm haunted by the fact
That the last thing on my mind was retribution
Well here's another kick in the face for reason
Or you'll never understand
Without your love
I'm nothing
And here's another word in your ear for freedom
It's not all it's meant to be
So many days are lost in
Mutual silence of the most unfriendly kind
Unkindly
Untimely way to pass the time of day

Who can do pain better than you?
It's like a wreck of art
And where does the landscape end
And life begin?
And when does the real world
Play a part in being true
And when does the silence end?
Oh tell me now
