Silent Treatment - Soul Asylum

When the silent treatment gets so loud it’s buzzing in my head

Your lips are moving, tells I should be somewhere else instead

Ooh, take a chance on today

She said she was a mermaid

She said she liked horses

And then the silence finally breaks

You took all you could take

There’s no one there

So you try to minimize it

Then you try to compromise it

No one really, really, really cares

In the city streets are filled with sheets of raindrops filled with bile

The silence is so deafening it somehow makes me smile

Ooh, take a chance on tonight

But she said she was a mermaid

She said she liked horses

She said she loved unicorns

I’d never bet on the dragon

When the silence finally breaks

You took all you could take

No one cares

And still you try to minimize it

Then you try to compromise it

No one’s really, really, really there

When the ice melts off the lake and it reflects on what is fake

And you’re skating somewhere, swimming I was losing every race

Ooh, one stolen moment might turn out right

She said she was a mermaid

She said she liked horses

Never bet on the unicorn

Never bet on the dragon

When the silence finally breaks

You find out just what’s fake

There’s no one there

So you try to minimize it

Then you try to compromise it

Cause no one really, really, really cares
