Things we want to say, and never do
Things we want to do, and never try
Do we live to lie about the truth?
Don’t we live the truth in every lie?

Why try and place the blame? It’s we who choose
We want it all, and let it slip away
We only love what surely will abuse
Abusing what we love most every day

Dodging blame by claiming good intentions
Intending to pretend we weren't wrong
Is there truth in nothing we are saying?
Have we been saying nothing all along?

Harken thee unto the words unspoken
Long unbroken is the silence we disdain
Every memory brings new words to choke down
How they go down like the poison they became

Wanting more despite what we’re forsaking
No mistaking we’ve been waiting far too long
If only we could hear what we’re not saying
Disobeying what our hearts know can’t be wrong
