Written, performed and produced by Joseph E Harrison.

lyrics

Explain

Am I not the one
Who hurts you 'til you’re numb?
Is this not the very voice
To utter words that strike you dumb?

It’s the way we play the game.

This silence is golden
With overtones of grey.
You and I were chosen
To look the other way,
In peace, I suppose,
But that’s not the way we choose to play.

It’s the way we play the game.
I shouldn’t have to explain.

And you can scream if you want to;
I won’t hear.
I am older. I am wiser,
And I’m so full of shit and I’m so full of fear.

It’s the way we play the game.

Yeah, this silence is a blessing,
This plugging of my ears.
I block you out; it’s your move now.
It’s your move now.
It’s your move now.

J E Harrison
