There's a code of silence that we don't dare speak
There's a wall between us and a river so deep
We keep pretending that there's nothing wrong

But there's a code of silence and it can't go on

Is the truth so elusive, so elusive you see

That it ain't enough baby
To bridge the distance between you and me
There's a list of grievance 100 miles long

There's a code of silence and it can't go on

Well you walk with your eyes open

But your lips they remain sealed
While the promises we made are broken
Beneath the truth we fear to reveal

Now I need to know now darlin'
I need to know what's goin' on


So c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon

Well you walk with your eyes open

But your lips they remain sealed
While the promises we made are broken
Beneath the truth we fear to reveal

Now I need to know now darlin'
I need to know what's goin' on
So c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon

C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon

There's a code of silence that we don't dare speak

There's a wall between and the river's deep
We keep pretending that there's nothing wrong
But there's a code of silence and it can't go on
