Shut Up When You're Speaking to Me
To learn that silence is golden

Rhythms without meaning
Endless words are driving me insane
Ears constantly deceiving
I saw the thing that I became
Listen not to opinions aired
But rather to the words unspoken
The gold is not in those who preach
But silence, it should be your token
Chorus:
Shut up when you're speaking to me
What you can't hear is better
Than that which you can't see
Shut up when you're speaking to me
What I imagine is so much better
Than that which I can be
To hear nothing and listen
Is a trait we all should learn
Instead we hear all
Without listening to all who yearn
Ancient tales are told throughout
Yet the world never complies
They tell of all to be avoided
Yet the people still believe in lies
Chorus
The riches, they lie in silence
The treasures which remain unfound
But earth's gold is all we seek
So to these we remain bound
Shut up, shut up
Shut up when you're speaking to me
