A Sad Silence

(アルバム： Question The Answers - 1994)

Two years and extra days
A block away, he'd head to hang
Same corner, neighborhood
His friends, the gang
Two years and extra days
A bigger kid would crack his eye
No real reason, explanation
And everyday no one knew why

The bigger kid was crazy
That made the gang afraid
When he told the gang to shut their mouths
The gang obeyed
You've got to have a place to be
You need a place to hang around

No one spoke, no one moved
No one made a sound!

Both his eyes would twitch (No one spoke, no one moved)
The left one was always black (No one made a sound)
His lips, they never moved (A sad silent situation)
They stayed still with each attack (No, he's not around)
His ears were always ringing (No one spoke, no one moved)
In his head he'd hear a hum (No one made a sound)
And all the kids on the corner (A sad silent situation)
Knew what it was from (No, he's not around)

Well, then one day it happened
He took his daily crack
His eyes rolled up, like yesterday
He started falling back
The kids that watch this every day
Now watched him hit the ground

No one spoke, no one moved
No one made a sound!
And no one made a sound

Both his eyes would twitch (No one spoke, no one moved)
The left one was always black (No one made a sound)
His lips, they never moved (A sad silent situation)
They stayed still with each attack (No, he's not around)
His ears were always ringing (No one spoke, no one moved)
In his head he'd hear a hum (No one made a sound)
And all the kids on the corner (A sad silent situation)
Knew what it was from (No, he's not around)

No one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound
A sad silent situation, now he's not around
No one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound
A sad silent situation, now he's not around
Well, no one spoke and no one moved, and no one made a sound
A sad silent situation, he's not a-, he's not around
(No one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound)
He's not around!
(A sad silent situation, now he's not around)
