It's hard to discern, you live and you learn, and I know you're learning, oh how you're working

And it's been hard, we've had it hard, with us and with ours

Now with all that hurt you're the one hurting, I bet you're thirsty

We can't stand on words, you're slouching, you're bending under your actions, now we're thirsty for action, whoa oh oh

I saw the silver, I saw the silver, we've all tasted silver sometime

I saw the silver, I saw the silver, but we swallow our tongues and hide

Though it took years to name it, it's always been true

We can't believe or breathe for the shame and we wonder what's true

Yea, well, I know that the fear's contagious and it's choking you

Though it took years to name it, it's always been true, it's always been

I saw the silver, I saw the silver, we've all tasted silver sometime

I saw the silver, I saw the silver, but we swallowed our tongues this time
