The things we never say
Keep ringing in my ears
Keep bringing up all the ways
That I can't stop thinking about my fears
We keep piling on the days
Until they turn into years
And the things we never say
They just keep ringing in our ears

We make our peace, we make our love
We make our deals with above
We search our heart, we speak our mind
We rehearse our part, we recite our lines
We hold our breath, we hold our tongue
We defy our death, we eat our young
We make our peace, we make our love
We make our deals with above

The things we never say
Keep ringing in my ears
Keep bringing up all the ways
That I can't stop thinking about my fears
We keep piling on the days
Until they turn into years
And the things we never say
They just keep ringing in our ears

We spend our days, we earn our keep
We find our way, we lose our sleep
We punch our clock, we pay our bills
We take our stock, we hone our skills
We climb our walls, we clear our heads
We screen our calls, we adjust our meds
We spend our days, we earn our keep
We find our way, we lose our sleep

The things we never say
Keep ringing in my ears
Keep bringing up all the ways
That I can't stop thinking about my fears
We keep piling on the days
Until they turn into years
And the things we never say
They just keep ringing in our ears

We cast our vote, we cast our net
We voice our hope, we hedge our bets
We pledge our time, we take our cue
We toe our line, we state our views
We demand our rights, we right our wrongs
We give up the fight, we write our songs
We cast our vote, we cast our net
We voice our hope, we hedge our bets

The things we never say
Keep ringing in my ears
Keep bringing up all the ways
That I can't stop thinking about my fears
We keep piling on the days
Until they turn into years
And the things we never say
They just keep ringing in our ears
