Code Of Silence

There’s a code of silence
That we don’t dare speak
There’s a wall between us
So high and so deep
We keep pretending
That there’s nothing wrong
And there’s a code of silence
And it can’t go on

Is the truth so elusive?
So elusive you see
That it ain’t enough baby
To bridge the distance between you and me
And there’s a list of grievance
A hundred miles long
There’s a code of silence
And it can’t go on

You walk with your eyes open
But your lips they remain sealed
All the promises we made are broken
Fearing truth, feeling fear
Well I need to know now darlin
Need to know what’s going on
So c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon

There’s a code of silence
That we don’t dare speak
There’s a wall between us
So high and so deep

You keep pretending
That there’s nothing wrong
There’s a code of silence
And it can’t go on
And it can’t go on
And it can’t go on
And it can’t go on
