Addictions Speak Louder Than Words
(v1)
Young man drinks
It hurts him to think
Bottle in his hands
It makes no demands
(v2)
Wild girl’s a cutter
She slams the shutter
Slices with a razor
Who’s going to save her
Pre-chorus
We can never get our fill
Can’t stand the silence
If the mind goes still
Here comes the violence
Chorus
What’s their pain
What’s their loneliness
Anger concealed
So much ‘if only’-ness
Hearts struck dumb, needing to be heard
Addictions, Addictions speak louder than words
(v3)
Nature seen on TV
Virtual reality
Eat yourself sick
Everything quick, quick, quick
(v4)
Children live in cyberspace
Lonely Planet’s been displaced
Blank canvas souls, full-body tattoos
No more heroes, no more taboos
Bridge
Selling, buying, hiding crying
No gain with soul pain, everyone’s dying
Sons gone to pot, daughters gone to seed
Nothing matters, only our need
Chorus
What’s their pain
What’s their loneliness
Anger concealed
So much ‘if only’-ness
Hearts struck dumb, needing to be heard
Addicted, addictions… and they speak louder than words
Addicted to addictions, they speak louder than words
Repeat chorus
