Carved In Silence
Suburban Tribe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't hear what you say
Your voice slowly melts away
You're so thin and frail
You're see-through
I see love
It's draining out of you

Your mouth moves but i can't hear
Like a faint whisper in my ear
Vague words
They just make no sense
Your name is carved in silence




Your name is carved in silence
Your name is carved in silence
