Walls of Silence

November evening
The warmth of family's in the air
Dinner's on the table
But there's one empty chair
They had a fight this morning
He said he's never coming home
But for her it's almost normal
Being married all alone

That stony fear and hate
That words can't articulate
When walls of silence
The walls of silence
When walls of silence go up
Our lives come down

She puts on a brave face
But they can see it in her eyes
Sometimes putting on a brave face
Is such a thin disguise
And they never want to come home
It just reminds them of the pain
And they hope and pray that their lives
Never turn out quite the same

That stony fear and hate
That words can't articulate
When walls of silence
The walls of silence
When walls of silence go up
Our lives come down

When walls of silence
The walls of silence
When walls of silence go up
Our lives come down
Come down
Our lives come down
