No, no
No
All these years I've sat and obeyed
As I hear every word you say
(Did you hear Dolores has a crush on Mariano?)
Get used to the noise, it'll soon go away
But it's louder everyday
(I thought he was engaged to Isabela?)
A problem shared is a problem halved
As you sit there unaware
(Oh my God, you're right! How embarrassing)
That your little sin has crept through the wall
(Do you think she can hear us now? God, I hope not!)
And sunk under my skin
You say: Just ignore, close the door, as if I don't hear
Mind echos with your noise as your voice tells me all your fears
So full up with you that I'm too afraid to make my own sound
No one seems to care what I want and what I need
A second to be silent, have some quiet, feel the noise recede
And finally take a breath as I'm only hearing me
The only noise is me!
Give me silence
I'll make them quiet
Can't think before you speak
Then you'll learn quiet
Muzzle the violent
Force them to quiet
I'll finally be free
I'll rule the quiet
Time you learn to be seen and not heard
Let's not hear another word
Don't want to know what you do where you go
So give me a silent show
If a tree were to fall and no one was there
Would it make a sound at all?
The answer's yes, worry less about the tree
And more about those in your halls
Grew up in this house, as the walls whispered desperately
For family, I obeyed, masquerade, it took all of me
To know what I knew and to never ever say a word
Heard every crack that appeared over all these years
The ones brought by plaster and ones brought through pain and tears
I left them to break, if the magic's gone then it can't hurt me
Give me silence
I'll make them quiet
Can't think before you speak
Then you'll learn quiet
Muzzle the violent
Force them to quiet
I'll finally be free
I'll rule the quiet
And when I'm through
Silence falls and I'm made anew
Use your words, dear
Oh, wait, you can't
I can finally hear now that you've stopped talking
At last, I hear me!
Give me silence
I'll make them quiet
Can't think before you speak
Then you'll learn quiet
Muzzle the violent
Force them to quiet
I'll finally be free
I'll rule the quiet
Give me silence!
I'll make them quiet!
Can't think before you speak
Then you'll learn quiet
Muzzle the violent
Force them to quiet
I'll finally be free
I'll rule the quiet
