Silence Itself

Oh, gather ’round and hear a tale
Of silent thoughts and memories gone pale
Fetching the water for lack of bold words
Tumbling thereafter over Jack and Jill’s turns

Drinking apple cider putting something insider
Woke up in the blur of a thought I can’t decipher
Fog on the mirror, my soul’s sole divider
Head spinning cotton candy, devious little spider

Midnight on the balcony, my brain’s a broken typer
Trying to write a message only you can decypher
Scrambling the code for the natives to unravel
A whisper in symbols, too fragile to travel

I trace your name in the steam on the glass,
Each letter a whisper from moments that passed

But I’m lost for words as I try to write
Tears falling beneath my eyes like waterfalls onto this blank page
I’m lost for words in this darken night
Hoping silence itself will somehow engage
{Silence itself… silence itself…)

They say time heals all the scars deep in my heart
But this clock ticks backwards, tearing me apart
Even groundhogs won’t venture to save me from time
This déjà vu’s got me losing my mind

I trace your name in the steam on the glass,
Each letter a whisper from moments that passed

But I’m lost for words as I try to write
Tears falling beneath my eyes like waterfalls onto this blank page
I’m lost for words in this darken night
Hoping silence itself will somehow engage
{Silence itself… silence itself…)

Silence itself on wings of despair
Silence itself over things unaware
Silence itself underneath all the hair
Silent and golden and hidden somewhere

But my pen won’t move through these invisible sins
They say write it all out and the healing begins
Something so fragile it won’t stand the weight
Of pencil on paper in booklets of fate

I trace your name in the steam on the glass,
Each letter a whisper from moments that passed

But I’m lost for words as I try to write
Tears falling beneath my eyes like waterfalls onto this blank page
I’m lost for words in this darken night
Hoping silence itself will somehow engage
{Silence itself… silence itself…)
