Was it something that we did
To turn your back on us forever
And yeah that would be unfair
Is this what you wanted 
The silence so *deafening* it hurts
If you ever listened
Then you would hear it for yourself
Was it something that we did
To give us light and never guide us
To which direction we should go
And we need a miracle
Something biblical 
So come down and take it out on us
Is this what you wanted 
The silence so *deafening* it hurts
If you ever listened
Then you would hear it for yourself
Is this what you wanted 
The silence so *deafening* it hurts
If you ever listened
Then you would hear it for yourself
And nothing says you love us quite like judgment 
And nothing says you hear our cries quite like silence
I've see enough of this in a lifetime
To know that I can make a difference
Then I guess I'll make a point
And I will repent 
When the snake has bitten through my skin
And the poison has set in
Is this what you wanted 
The silence so *deafening* it hurts
If you ever listened
Then you would hear it for yourself
Is this what you wanted 
The silence so *deafening* it hurts
If you ever listened
Then you would hear it for yourself
Hear it for yourself
Hear it for yourself
