We reworked Things You Haven’t Said a few weeks ago. It’s a song I originally wrote a long, long time ago. We demoed it back in the 90s, and updated it in 2025.

Silence as a weapon
Handled with precision
It cuts like a knife
And I’m one big incision

Conversation
Anticipation
Now we’ve come to
Expectation

Chorus:
I once hung on every word
Now I’m hanging by a thread
It’s so hard not to hear
All the things you haven’t said

You don’t need the sounds
When you can see the signs
Each one is saying
Beware the end of the line

Expectation
Aggravation
Now we’ve come to
Desperation

Chorus:
I once hung on every word
Now I’m hanging by a thread
It’s so hard not to hear
All the things you haven’t said

Bridge:
All the things you didn’t say
Are ringing in my ears
They’ll live rent free inside of me
For a hundred years

Chorus:
I once hung on every word
Now I’m hanging by a thread
It’s so hard not to hear
All the things you haven’t said

They’ll live rent free inside of me
For a hundred years
I couldn’t shake the words from you
With a million tears
