Silent Movies

You decide you’re evil
You test it on the skies
This complicated evil
It does you no justice here
Yeah I’m supposed to shine dear
But I can’t see my hands
We drift apart like colors
And learn from mistakes
You’ve put into place
When you walked, walked away
I’m hanging them words that you say, oh
And I don’t know why
But silent movies
Always make me cry
It’s the black and white
Everybody’s trying to make it
Through the night
Well I don’t know anyone else
And I’m always all by myself
Someone please tell me why
The silent movies make me cry
Are we cornered into my mind
'Cause I don’t know where to go
Such a complicated evil
You’re pulling on strings
You’ve put into place
When you walked, when you walked away
A subtle change but I can’t seem to fake
And it feels so strange
And I don’t know why
The silent movies
Always make me cry
It’s the black and white
Everybody’s trying to make it
Through the night
Well I don’t know anyone else
And I’m always all by myself
Someone please tell me why
The silent movies make me cry
