Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walk in silence
Don't walk away
In silence
See the danger
Always danger
Endless talking
Life rebuilding
Don't walk away
[Verse 2]
Walk in silence
Don't turn away
In silence
Your confusion
My illusion
Worn like a mask of self hate
Confronts and then dies
Don't walk away
[Verse 3]
People like you find it easy
Naked to see
Walking on air
Hunting by the rivers, through the streets, every corner
Abandoned too soon
Set down with due care
[Verse 4]
Don't walk away
In silence
Don't walk away
Written by: Bernard Sumner, Ian Curtis, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris
