Silence is the sound you hear when you hit your head
A dog barking in some distant universe
It’s the faint, constant hum of car engines
The crunching snow under your boots
Silence is popping your knuckles
A buzzing street light
Branches scratching in the wind
Yes there is such a thing as silence, even in this sleepless city
You’re just too busy fiddling with your cellphone to appreciate it

I’ve got a beautiful view of our disgusting city
And I can't even enjoy it with this necktie choking me
The phones ring like school bells; loud and inharmoniously
Hell, I’d probably jump out the window if it weren’t for the coffee
*Hi, how may I help you today?

Her eyes glazed over with a sudden twinkle of calmness
As the crescent on her lips began to wax
Then she spoke in a warm and almost inarticulate whisper
Tasting every word in its saccharine delicacy

I love you

And i know that for as long as I could find her hairs under my pillow
Under the sheets or on my shoulder, I will love her more

Sadness is lust for what lies just outside your reach
Wisdom is experience and cannot be preached
Trust is a suit and tie, a cunning liar
While love is the dripping bucket, that puts out the fire
Happiness is attainable, yet it’s never enough
For stability is stagnant, and it’s got you cuffed
Pain is the fuel that pollutes the air
Sure, life a game, and it aint fair
So won’t you Rest your head on this bed of nails
For none of this really matters when daylight fails

When the sky is grey
And the air cuts you like glass
*I walk on water..
