What a thief is this silence !
Stealing away our words
when we're asked if we're okay
but we're rotten, dying.

What a thief is this silence !
Stealing away our words
when we know this person here
is sobbing, crying.

Stealing away our words
when we know this person's actions
are obnoxious, defying.

What a thief is this silence !
Stealing away our words
when we've heavily transgressed
guilty but denying.

What a thief is this silence !
Stealing away our words
when they're most needed to be said
leaving some alive, some dead...
