Lyrics Anatomy of a Kiss - Silence

To avoid
judging amiss
we've learned to close our eyes
before we kiss
We enter the dark
looking for proof
Armed with a blindfold,
we hunt for the truth

We kiss to unlearn
what we've been taught
We kiss to recall
what we forgot
We kiss to escape
tales of sin,
the politics of skin

It is because we distinguish colours
that we see the world
in black and white
It's a form of blindness,
a trick of the light
We must close our eyes
to improve our sight

And kiss to unlearn
what we've been taught
Kiss to recall
what we forgot
Kiss to escape
tales of sin,
the politics of skin

It's hard to dismiss
the science of a kiss

It's a form of blindness,
trusting your eyes
It is not the apparent
that takes us by surprise

We kiss to unlearn
what we've been taught
We kiss to recall
what we forgot
We kiss to escape
tales of sin,
the politics of skin
