Quiet Violence (From "Dance Moms") - Sharon Kenny

If you hit me with words you don't say, it still hurts

So I'll hit you back by biting my tongue

And we'll have a war without any volume

I will remember, I'll just remember the sounds we used to make

But memories have no noise

Memories have no voice

No voice, voice

Voice, voice

Our tragedy, it lies in the silence

The still of the storm, the quiet violence

It's wrapped itself up in blankets and pillows and gone to sleep

Our tragedy is the mouths with no motion

The questions we ask, but the answers unspoken

We sit here together, we laugh, we smile but we bleed

We sat in the back row together

I couldn't really see above the tall people sitting in front of me

So I closed my eyes real tight and I listened

And I can remember, I still remember we didn't need to speak

But memories have no sound

Memories can't speak out loud

Out loud, loud

Loud, loud

Our tragedy, it lies in the silence

The still of the storm, the quiet violence

It's wrapped itself up in blankets and pillows and gone to sleep

Our tragedy is the mouths with no motion

The questions we ask, but the answers unspoken

We sit here together, we laugh, we smile but we bleed

Love is not implied

Love is not implied

Love is not implied

Love is not implied

Love is not implied, implied

Love is not implied, implied

Love is not implied, implied

Love is not implied, implied

Our tragedy, it lies in the silence

The still of the storm, the quiet violence

It's wrapped itself up in blankets and pillows and gone to sleep

Our tragedy is the mouths with no motion

The questions we ask, but the answers unspoken

We sit here together, we laugh, we smile but we bleed

Bleed, bleed
