The Silence Lyrics - Bastille

1 Tell me a piece of your history that you're proud to call your own

2 Speak in words you picked up as you walked through life alone

3 We used to swim in your stories and be pulled down by their tide

4 Choking on the words and drowning with no air inside

5 Now you've hit the wall and it's not your fault

6 My dear, my dear, my dear

7 Now you've hit the wall and you've hit it hard

8 My dear, my dear, oh dear

9 It is not enough to be dumbstruck (Can you fill the silence?)

10 You must have the words in that head of yours

11 And oh, oh, can you fill the silence? I can't take it anymore

12 'Cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck (Can you fill the silence?)

13 Tell me a piece of your history that you've never said out loud

14 Pull the rug beneath my feet and shake me to the ground

15 Wrap me around your fingers, break the silence open wide

16 And before it seeps into my ears, it fills me up from the inside

17 Now you've hit the wall and you're lost for words

18 My dear, my dear, my dear

19 Now you've hit the wall and you've hit it hard

20 My dear, my dear, oh dear

21 It is not enough to be dumbstruck (Can you fill the silence?)

22 You must have the words in that head of yours

23 And oh, oh, can you fill the silence? I can't take it anymore

24 'Cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck (Can you fill the silence?)

25 If you give it a name, then it's already won

26 What you good for, what you good for?

27 If you give it a name, then it's already won

28 What you good for, what you good for?

29 If you give it a name, then it's already won

30 What you good for, what you good for?

31 If you give it a name, then it's already won

32 What you good for, what you good for?

33 It is not enough to be dumbstruck (Can you fill the silence?)

34 You must have the words in that head of yours

35 And oh, oh, can you fill the silence? I can't take it anymore

36 'Cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck, oh
