| When the silent treatment gets so loud it’s buzzing in my head
 | 
| Your lips are moving, tells I should be somewhere else instead
 | 
| Ooh, take a chance on today
 | 
| She said she was a mermaid
 | 
| She said she liked horses
 | 
| And then the silence finally breaks
 | 
| You took all you could take
 | 
| There’s no one there
 | 
| So you try to minimize it
 | 
| Then you try to compromise it
 | 
| No one really, really, really cares
 | 
| In the city streets are filled with sheets of raindrops filled with bile
 | 
| The silence is so deafening it somehow makes me smile
 | 
| Ooh, take a chance on tonight
 | 
| But she said she was a mermaid
 | 
| She said she liked horses
 | 
| She said she loved unicorns
 | 
| I’d never bet on the dragon
 | 
| When the silence finally breaks
 | 
| You took all you could take
 | 
| No one cares
 | 
| And still you try to minimize it
 | 
| Then you try to compromise it
 | 
| No one’s really, really, really there
 | 
| When the ice melts off the lake and it reflects on what is fake
 | 
| And you’re skating somewhere, swimming I was losing every race
 | 
| Ooh, one stolen moment might turn out right
 | 
| She said she was a mermaid
 | 
| She said she liked horses
 | 
| Never bet on the unicorn
 | 
| Never bet on the dragon
 | 
| When the silence finally breaks
 | 
| You find out just what’s fake
 | 
| There’s no one there
 | 
| So you try to minimize it
 | 
| Then you try to compromise it
 | 
| Cause no one really, really, really cares |
