Only Silence
I keep hearing things about you
Truths told by liars
Things I don't want to hear
Can't bear to hear...
Because I've already heard them
A thousand times before
Each time they're worded
Just a little different
It really hurts me
More than I can ever say
To see you
As you really are
But, how was I ever
As blind as I was?
Why didn't I see
The man behind the curtain
The man behind the mask?
Ah, yes that mask...
One of many, I suppose
And I keep circling, skating
Around the truth
And the ice wears paper thin
I'm going around and around
In the same old cirlce
Asking the same questions
Getting the same answers
Hearing only silence
When you speak...
