Verse:
                         -     -  
Light up a cigarette to kill time
                              *
Pacing this floor another dozen times
                       
If there was someway to express it otherwise

I would

                           -     -  
Fed up of fighting over crumbs and dust
                                *
Don’t have to be this way, a hollow trust
                         
If we could find some way to make it right
       -  *
We would, we would

Chorus:
(Mute)
And then
	         
The silence came
                        -*
There was not a word to say
                  
One hour felt like a day
                   -*
When the silence came
          	         
We felt it on our bodies
                      -*
No way to turn it around
                     
One hour felt like a day
        
When the silence came
          -  *
When the silence came

Can’t hear nothing but the dripping from the tap
Blowing kisses no one will grab
Need to organise this life that we have
If we could

God knows what we have sacrificed
Guess we deserve the days of our lives
Wish we could learn how to let things slide away
Just for a day

And then
The silence came
There was not a word to say
One hour felt like a day
When the silence came
We felt it on our bodies
No way to turn it around
One hour felt like a day
When the silence came
When the silence came

When the silence came

God knows what we have sacrificed
Guess we deserve the days of our lives
Wish we could learn how to let things slide
For a day

And then
The silence came
There was not a word to say
One hour felt like a day
When the silence came
We felt it on our bodies
No way to turn it around
One hour felt like a day
When the silence came
When the silence came

When the silence came
Then the silence came
Yes it came.
