From the recording Hope & Other Distractions
Lyrics
Washed out but never clean
There’s no shifting some things
They stain too deep the shame just seeps
Shut down
Can you hear a scream
The curse of invisibility
Hung out to get an airing
Blown dry but dampness sets in
Indifference always pulls the strings
Shut down
Can you hear a scream
Numbness muffles everything
Found out now everybody knows
They care enough to judge
But never enough to read the footnotes
Shut down
Can you hear a scream
The silence has been deafening
Shut down
Can you hear a scream
Something bad is happening
Shot down
There were never any screams
It all happened with no one listening
Shot down
But you never heard a thing
Silence nurtures tragedies
