What We Don't Talk About
by Eli

Album: Gratitude

In a silence that has tortured you forever
Every mirror knows your name
And you think and you pray
And you swear one day you'll end this
Reaching out would cause more shame
You're sure you're gonna snap one day
They're gonna carry you away

So you close your eyes
And you run and hide
And we don't talk about
And you fear the truth
Would just bury you
And we don't talk about
Anything, anything

For the thirteenth time today
They're tried to reach you
Still you shun them, still you hide
If they knew that you were scared
To be a failure
Would they love your frailty
Or hate your pride?
You're safer held behind your walls
Where no one threatens you at all

So you close your eyes
And you run and hide
And we don't talk about
And you fear the truth
Would just bury you
So we don't talk about

So you close your eyes
And you run and hide
And we don't talk about
And you fear the truth
Would just bury you
Then we don't talk about
Anything, anything
Anything, anything
