I wake to the sun falling down on its face again As the night comes back to end it all, The night comes back to end it all. The darkness makes this room seem gray And suddenly the sound slips, falls away, And then I’m left with the noise and all My skin bleeds sweat as it crawls– My fingers rusted red Because I can’t take this silence again, Silent cries, silent nights, Silent tears, silent fights. I wish I could break this silence away, I wish without her I could feel okay– Without her I can’t feel, okay. And here we lie on either side A line away I have to stay A thousand miles Let silence dance, Let silence play Where once I dreamed And all that seemed too perfect for me Are walls of memories burning, And the flames make fall–it all. It all falls around me now, The walls fall, Watch them crash on me. Where am I now? A mess of smoke, of gray, No more flames, They’ve left me now to feel alone, They’ve gone somewhere They’ve gone away. Just me now, but all I see Is all this heavy gray– It stifles and stays: A void, Away she stays. I stay, a void. I stay, a void. I stay, I wait For silence to suffocate itself Again.

Smoke
I wake to the sun falling down on its face again As the night comes back to end it all, The night comes back to end it all. The darkness makes this room seem gray And suddenly the sound slips, falls away, And then I’m left with the noise and all My skin bleeds sweat as it crawls– My fingers rusted red Because I can’t take this silence again, Silent cries, silent nights, Silent tears, silent fights. I wish I could break this silence away, I wish without her I could feel okay– Without her I can’t feel, okay. And here we lie on either side A line away I have to stay A thousand miles Let silence dance, Let silence play Where once I dreamed And all that seemed too perfect for me Are walls of memories burning, And the flames make fall–it all. It all falls around me now, The walls fall, Watch them crash on me. Where am I now? A mess of smoke, of gray, No more flames, They’ve left me now to feel alone, They’ve gone somewhere They’ve gone away. Just me now, but all I see Is all this heavy gray– It stifles and stays: A void, Away she stays. I stay, a void. I stay, a void. I stay, I wait For silence to suffocate itself Again.
