Stamps Of Silence

Intro

​(Verse 1)

I’ve got a pocket full of paper and a head full of steam

I’m living in the middle of a long-forgotten dream

The adhesive is tasting like a bitter kind of blue

As I’m staring at the envelope addressed to you

​(Verse 2)

The postman’s ringing twice just a little down the street

I’m hiding in the shadows where the dust and silence meet

I’ve bought a dozen stamps just to keep them in a drawer

Because I don't know what I’m waiting for anymore

​(Chorus)

Oh, they’re just stamps of silence on a lonely afternoon

Waiting for a change that’s never coming very soon

I’m licking all the edges but I cannot make them stick

The air inside this empty house is getting very thick

​(Verse 3)

There’s a red box on the corner with a mouth that’s open wide

But I’ve got too many secrets that are burning up inside

I walk towards the pavement then I turn and walk away

Saving all the things I was supposed to send today

Guitar Solo

​(Chorus)

Oh, they’re just stamps of silence on a lonely afternoon

Waiting for a change that’s never coming very soon

I’m licking all the edges but I cannot make them stick

The air inside this empty house is getting very thick

​(Bridge)

Does it matter if the message never finds its way to town?

Does it matter if the ink is only weighing someone down?

The birds are flying over with a letter in their beak

While I am standing frozen and I’m feeling rather weak

​(Verse 4)

The sun is going down and the glue is getting dry

I’m looking for a reason but I’ll never find the why

The stamps are looking back at me with faces made of gold

Stuck inside a story that will never quite be told

​(Outro)

Never quite be told

Stamps of silence

Waiting on the shelf

Talking to myself

Just stamps of silence

Nothing more to say
