Lyrics
Chorus
Out of sight, out of mind
If no one speaks then we'll be fine
Forget the blood, just give it time
The more we wait, the more it dies
Out of sight, out of mind
If no one speaks then we'll be fine
Forget the blood, just give it time
The more we wait, the more it dies
Verse 1
And when I see a mirror on the wall
I look, but don't see any fault
I've been told so many times that it's my pride
But no, it's an issue with their eyes
Chorus
Out of sight, out of mind
If no one speaks then we'll be fine
Forget the blood, just give it time
The more we wait, the more it dies
Verse 2
Well, every night I go to bed alone
So what? It's all I've ever known
No one wants to see me as the victim, too
Who cares? They can see it as they choose
Chorus
Out of sight, out of mind
If no one speaks then we'll be fine
Forget the blood, just give it time
The more we wait, the more it dies
Bridge
Silence
Hide in silence
Quiet
We can fight this
Silence
Hide your silence
Quiet
Just keep silent
Chorus
Out of sight, out of mind
If no one speaks then we'll be fine
Forget the blood, just give it time
The more we wait, the more it dies
Out of sight, out of mind
If no one speaks then we'll be fine
Forget the blood, just give it time
The more we wait, the more it dies

Meaning & Inspiration
The song examines the damage caused when wrongdoing is hidden and no one is willing to speak. Its refrain treats silence as a false refuge: delay does not heal the wound but allows it to fade from public concern. The first verse turns inward, exposing pride that sees no fault in the mirror and shifts blame to others. The second adds isolation and the painful ambiguity of someone who also identifies as a victim.
The bridge makes silence both a hiding place and a contested choice, sharpening the song’s concern with denial, accountability, and truth. Proverbs 28 closely matches that tension by contrasting concealed sin with confession and mercy. Ephesians 5 also calls hidden works into the light rather than permitting quiet complicity. Without offering an easy resolution, the lyric portrays honest speech as necessary when blood, harm, and responsibility are being forgotten. Its repeated warning leaves concealment looking less like peace and more like participation in an unresolved wrong.
