Silent as this empty room
The rain tumbles down
But falls without sound
Leaves me thinking of you

Quiet as this lonely home
Memories may last
But deeds done in the past
Are unchanging as stone

All I wanted was to live another day
Away from a world that demanded
That we live our lives this way

The walls of this house are descending
And I just can't go on pretending
The emptiness in these rooms
Hasn't hardened my heart

The walls of this house are descending
And I just can't go on pretending
The silence invading these rooms
Hasn't torn us apart

Alone and crying in the hall
Struggling to hide
The tears in your eyes
Instead of letting them fall

My words brutal as the rain
They put you in place
Like a slap to the face
But they cause you more pain

And all I wanted was to live another day
Away from a world that demanded
That we live our lives this way

The walls of this house are descending
And I just can't go on pretending
The emptiness in these rooms
Hasn't hardened my heart

The walls of this house are descending
And I just can't go on pretending
The silence invading these rooms
Hasn't torn us apart

When the two of us built this foundation
It was meant to last
But after all of these strange situations
The roof is caving in fast

The walls of this house are descending
And I just can't go on pretending
The emptiness in these rooms
Hasn't hardened my heart

The walls of this house are descending
And I just can't go on pretending
The silence invading these rooms
Hasn't torn us apart
