When The Scream Subsides Songtext / Lyric

CHORUS :
And we talk (and we talk)
Just the two of us
Allthe time (all the time)
Nothing serious
We pretend (we pretend)
Time was no our side
Till the end (till the end)
When the scream subsides

Yes, we had it all,
Had the key gripped in our hands
We could see the fall
As the martyr understands
When the chorus calls
There's no room for hope inside
Lose it all
When the scream subsides

CHORUS

Yes, we took the role
Of the lovers and the friends
And we played our parts
Till the words came to an end
But the tongues were tied
In the passion and the pride
Waste it all
When the scream subsides

And we talk
All the time
We pretend
Till the end

CHORUS (2X)
