i move in silence tip toe you can't hear me tip toe i move in silence a kaleidoscope of faces unrecognizable blurs in a humanoid shape the only difference between them is the occasional color change or hat i move in silence voices merge and become loud bass-boosted noises no longer human but mechanical i move in silence each step i take meticulously placed like a child walking on stepping stones over-exaggerated motions i move in silence even my voice is inaudible the air moves past my vocal chords but no sound accompanies it i am reticent i move in silence bodies shove me aside until i eventually reach a wall it's at this point i give up and collapse upon the marble tears begin to form as i feel more discouraged i battle against them but my tears always win in the end i sit on the floor a shell-shocked ball mute and alone you move with music a melody cascades from you rivulets of aria dripping from your shoes you move with music you don't recognize the faces either you move too fast for them they don't hear your song and you wouldn't care either way you move with music you aren't walking each footfall is not a promenade but a dance no not a dance you move like i but instead of precise movements you skip like a child would across the playground you move with music i could hear your diapason from the wall i saw you differently from the others an untouchable paragon i found your eyes you found mine i felt my heart stop for no one had seen me until you your music changed it was no longer a simple chime but a complex arrangement but still just as rich and ethereal you broke from the current weaving between personages like it was rehearsed my eyes were fixated on you i was curious and afraid why were you approaching me? is it a misunderstanding? i averted my eyes i assumed that i was not your objective but indeed i was you approached me and i looked up facing you you kneeled and took my hand and told me "Let's go." i used to move in silence but now our combined melody is a chant a rallying cry an anthem for anyone whose ears can hear it i used to move in silence now all i hear is music

I Move in Silence
i move in silence tip toe you can't hear me tip toe i move in silence a kaleidoscope of faces unrecognizable blurs in a humanoid shape the only difference between them is the occasional color change or hat i move in silence voices merge and become loud bass-boosted noises no longer human but mechanical i move in silence each step i take meticulously placed like a child walking on stepping stones over-exaggerated motions i move in silence even my voice is inaudible the air moves past my vocal chords but no sound accompanies it i am reticent i move in silence bodies shove me aside until i eventually reach a wall it's at this point i give up and collapse upon the marble tears begin to form as i feel more discouraged i battle against them but my tears always win in the end i sit on the floor a shell-shocked ball mute and alone you move with music a melody cascades from you rivulets of aria dripping from your shoes you move with music you don't recognize the faces either you move too fast for them they don't hear your song and you wouldn't care either way you move with music you aren't walking each footfall is not a promenade but a dance no not a dance you move like i but instead of precise movements you skip like a child would across the playground you move with music i could hear your diapason from the wall i saw you differently from the others an untouchable paragon i found your eyes you found mine i felt my heart stop for no one had seen me until you your music changed it was no longer a simple chime but a complex arrangement but still just as rich and ethereal you broke from the current weaving between personages like it was rehearsed my eyes were fixated on you i was curious and afraid why were you approaching me? is it a misunderstanding? i averted my eyes i assumed that i was not your objective but indeed i was you approached me and i looked up facing you you kneeled and took my hand and told me "Let's go." i used to move in silence but now our combined melody is a chant a rallying cry an anthem for anyone whose ears can hear it i used to move in silence now all i hear is music
