Lyrics by Shoes

Fret Buzz (2005)
Composed by Jeff Murphy

I'm the kind with one more axe to grind
You can push me away
But you can't put me out of your mind

All the pretending is bending the rules
Why don't you like what you hear
Silence is deadly
Yeah, the silence is deadly

Why do you believe the things you read
When they fill up your mind
But they don't give the things that you need

Show me the reason you're leaving me now
Tell me it isn't a crime
When the silence is deadly
Yeah, the silence is deadly

Why do you treat me like I don't want to see
Somebody's wrong and I know it isn't me

All the pretending is sending me home
Then comes the time that you'll see
That silence is deadly
Yeah, the silence is deadly

Why do you treat me like I don't want to see
Somebody's wrong and I know it isn't me

All the pretending is bending the rules
Why don't you like what you hear
Silence is deadly
Yeah, the silence is deadly
Silence is deadly
Yeah, the silence is deadly
