Sharon Kenny Quiet Violence song lyrics

If you hit me with words you don't say, it still hurts

So I'll hit you back by biting my tongue

And we'll have a war without any volume

And I will remember, I'll just remember the sounds we used to make

But memories have no noise

Memories have no voice

no(voice) x4

Our tragedy, it lies in the silence

The still of the storm

The quiet violence

It's wrapped itself up in blankets and pillows and gone to sleep

Our tragedy is the mouths with no motion

The questions we ask, but the answers unspoken

We sit here together, we laugh and we smile but we bleed

We sat in the back row together

I couldn't really see above the tall people sitting in front of me

So I closed my eyes real tight and I listened

And I can remember, I still remember we didn't need to speak

But memories have no sound

Memories can't speak out loud

out(loud) x4

Our tragedy, it lies in the silence

The still of the storm

The quiet violence

It's wrapped itself up in blankets and pillows and gone to sleep

Our tragedy is the mouths with no motion

The questions we ask, but the answers unspoken

We sit here together, we laugh and we smile but we bleed.

(Love is not implied) x4

(Love is not(implied) x2) x4

Our tragedy, it lies in the silence

The still of the storm

The quiet violence

It's wrapped itself up in blankets and pillows and gone to sleep

Our tragedy is the mouths with no motion

The questions we ask, but the answers unspoken

We sit here together, we laugh and we smile but we (bleed) x3
