The Violence of Denial

April days seem far away
Hanging out, all over town
We made plans for a life of plans
Seems over now with this darkened cloud
This silence stretches miles
And there’s no way that we’re ever recovering the violence of denial
It’s over put the gun away tonight
For 90 days I kept away
Writing down and not reaching out
Your angry texts, and who knows what’s next
They’ve done the job, as I’m finding out
This silence stretches miles
And there’s no way that we’re ever recovering the violence of denial
It’s over put the gun away
It’s over put the gun away tonight Fooled me once and I forgave you We picked
up where we started
Fooled me twice, no make that three times
This time I’ll stay more guarded
This silence, day and night Now that it’s over, it’s alright You go your way,
I’ll go mine
It’s over put the gun away tonight
This silence stretches miles
And there’s no way that we’re ever recovering the violence of denial
It’s over put the gun away it’s over put the gun away
There’s no more guilt from me tonight
