We live for the greater, We live for the good   At least that's what I thought, She understood   So why then the phone call, The torrent of words   That dismissed the past decades, And deemed them absurd?      And what did you think about, Think about with her?   And what did you talk about, Talk about with her?      There's nothing that I wouldn't do, To remedy this thing for you   If silence means that much to you, Then I promise to keep silent, too   Bear in mind one final thing, The solitude that it will bring   If silence outlives everything, The residue will never thin      Deny me the first time, Deny me then twice   But not once again, If you value this life   The oldest is broken, The youngest clings on   But the middle tries hard, To still belong      And what did you think about, Think about with her?   And what did you talk about, Talk about with her?      There's nothing that I wouldn't do, To remedy this thing for you   If silence means that much to you, Then I promise to keep silent, too   Bear in mind one final thing, The solitude that it will bring   If silence outlives everything, The residue will never thin      Buried alive, And with nobody watching   Severed all ties, With the mother of lies   No circle of friends, No scattering ashes   Just hang up the line, And pray you'll be fine      And what did you think about, Think about with her?   And what did you talk about, Talk about with her?      There's nothing that I wouldn't do, To remedy this thing for you   If silence means that much to you, Then I promise to keep silent, too   Bear in mind one final thing, The solitude that it will bring   If silence outlives everything, The residue will never thin
