Hush Hush

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He tiptoes from brick to brick And skips the cracks or he gets sick Counting sheep, losing sleep Now his lids are heavyset Run for it, they're on the prowl These demons never make a sound Cries ignored, this cardboard box Will keep him dry for now [Chorus] Why do I give in When I know it's not the only answer? Run away to save my skin When my angst is growing like a cancer And oh, the things we'll say When we're standing in our way Maybe soon, this all will be A distant memory [Verse 2] There might as well be bloodstains on this carpet floor He's laying face down wondering what fighting back is for Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down And I'll be singing when I turn around [Chorus] Why do I give in When I know it's not the only answer? Run away to save my skin When my angst is growing like a cancer And oh, the things we'll say When we're standing in our way Maybe soon, this all will be A distant memory [Bridge] Wars waged on life We wave it in defeat Take down the white Soldier, on your feet I march headstrong To shout aloud that now, now, now I'm free [Chorus] Why do I give in When I know it's not the only answer? Run away to save my skin When my angst is growing like a cancer And oh, the things we'll say When we're standing in our way Maybe soon, this all will be A distant memory [Outro] A distant memory (Hush, hush) A distant memory (Hush, hush) A distant memory (Hush, hush) Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down Don't even give 'em a chance to knock you down And I'll be singing when I turn around
