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 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 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 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
