I've been caught in a trap I set for myself
I don't want to be here when you could be somewhere else
So why'd I sit on my hands like a book on a shelf
Where only dust is falling?
Everyone 'round here lives in silence
If I had something to say I'd say what I mean
How'd you lose all your words? I swear it's obscene, I curse
How'd you look at yourself as the mirror turns green?
Yeah, only the fools ignore us
Everyone 'round here lives in silence
I could wait all my life for someone to think
I can't open your eyes but I can make you blink at me
So please don't try to be nice, don't need your advice
Please leave me to die of boredom
Everyone 'round here lives in silence
Silence
They wait for the end
Silence
They bow and they bend
Silence
Their homes they defend
Silence

This song is awesome. I heard it on the laguna beach commercials, and i downloaded it. it is what pushed me to watch the show which i am infatuated with!
the video for this song is great, I love it..it doesnt mean much to me
It seems like a song about being really bored with one's surroundings. Like being trapped at a parent's house for the weekend and being forced to hold your tongue and be very proper, and feeling utterly bored by it all.
