A tendency for silence

"A tendency for silence" is a song by LorD and Master from the album Comatose. Self-describing LorD and Master's demeanour, this song offers itself as a metaphor for more of the frustration felt by the coma patient's partner in "Unmoved".

Lyrics

Whereas you've a propensity towards violence
I have a tendency for silence

You've gotta tell me how you feel (I'm not a mind-reader)
Can we do this without the ordeal
You scratch and claw me every day (as if it's acceptable)
What if I told you there was another way

Stop the shouting
Stop the screaming
Work it out

Whereas you've a propensity towards violence
I have a tendency for silence

I know it's frustrating that I'm calm (you just can't handle it)
But I don't want to come to harm
It's not as though I am aloof (I'm as interested as you)
I see no point in raising the roof

Stop the shouting
Stop the screaming
Work it out

Whereas you've a propensity towards violence
I have a tendency for silence
While you find new expletives by the hour
It's in the quiet that I find power

Stop the shouting
Stop the screaming
Work it out

Whereas you've a propensity towards violence
I have a tendency for silence
While you find new expletives by the hour
It's in the quiet that I find power
