The Suffocating Silence
Redemption Lyrics

Something's going on here – the object is unspoken
There is an unspoken intention or plan in place.

But I can see the makings of a sinister design
Despite the lack of communication, I can sense that something malicious is being planned.

The bristles of the tightening noose are scratching at my throat
The situation is becoming more suffocating and overwhelming.

And in Shadows, whispered voices plot to take from me what's mine
Unknown voices are secretly planning to steal or harm me.

Something's going wrong here – the lines have all been broken
The previously established boundaries or communication channels have been broken or disrupted.

In the shelter of our silence conflicts keep upon themselves
Our refusal to communicate has led to underlying issues and conflicts being left unresolved.

We both have our agendas, if only we would voice them
We each have our own priorities and goals, but we need to communicate them in order to understand each other and work together.

But the guilt between us widens as we keep them to ourselves
Our failure to communicate is causing a sense of guilt and distance between us.

In the suffocating silence, attended by our dreams
The silence between us is overwhelming and negatively impacting our thoughts and emotions.

this emptiness devours
The lack of communication is causing a feeling of emptiness and despair.

In the darkness of desire, where nothing's as it seems
Our hidden desires and motivations are clouding our judgment and making it difficult to see the truth of the situation.

our demons lie in wait, for you and me
Our inner demons and negative traits are waiting to surface and cause more conflict if we don't address them.

Subconscious acts replace the spoken word, and we express with cruelty what we neglect to say
Our unspoken thoughts and feelings are being expressed in negative ways, causing harm to ourselves and each other.

And everybody's shouting, but no one can hear, and our desperate ringing fills my ears
There is a lot of noise and chaos, but no one is actually listening to each other or addressing the real issues at hand.

And we all know that words can kill, but their absence is more lethal still
Although words can be hurtful, the lack of communication is even more damaging to our relationships and overall well-being.

The tension's ever-mounting, and the dam's about to break
The situation is becoming increasingly stressful and if we don't address it soon, it will likely lead to a breaking point.

Failing to discuss it could be our last mistake
If we don't communicate and address the underlying issues, it could have serious and irreversible consequences.
