[Intro]
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
[Verse 1]
The first time I see Alice, she, she climbs a tree
She's headed east
Not that she can't breathe
Follow sister's lead
Ministry rail, before the CCP
At just sixteen for proper speech
The proper teach about how to serve
A higher breed and the canyon deep
How you can never reach between us
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Through the power
And convenience
All that I see
Is the difference between us
[Chorus]
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
Some just adjust
Some can't just step out of the shadow as they please
Silence and kindness
Silence
You can't just step out of the shadow as you please
Silence and kindness
Silence
Comfortably lost in the governess shadow
[Verse 2]
And young Marie, she finds a man
His appetite and wandering hand
Locks her outside after a fight
To just be quiet, look for the light
When she gets in to find written
A banishment
She is all alone
She is on her own
For the first time
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Not the last time
That a husband
A companion
Sees the difference between us
(Between us, between us)
(Shadows)
(The difference between us)
[Chorus]
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
Some just adjust
Some can't just step out of the shadow as they please
Silence and kindness
Silence
You can't just step out of the shadow as you please
Silence and kindness
Silence
Comfortably lost in the governess shadow
Comfortably lost in the governess shadow
[Bridge]
The governess shadow
The governess shadow
The governess shadow
The governess shadow
[Outro]
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
You can't just step out of the shadow as you please
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
The governess shadow
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
You can't just step out of the shadow as you please
Silence and kindness
Silence and kindness
Silence
The governess shadow
