No one was nearby
When I fell... So did I
In  my heartbreak and agony
Make a sound
I'm sure I heard myself
In aggrieved despair
Crying out
When no one was around

So Silence hung
all  around me
Like anger filled air
When silence screams
At those...
... Lost and Shattered dreams
When we knew ... We were through
But had not yet
Come to terms with ...
.......it!

So now you're gone
As so am I
From that place in time
We once shared

Now each side exists
Lost in the Mists
Of lies and lies and alibis
And those futile attempts
To make what's wrong seem right
Trying to create Darkness
From the smallest ray of light

So now I wonder
If anyone was there for you
When and if you finally fell
To let you know...
... If you made a sound
Or were you just a silent victim
When time  lost all hope as well

Did I make a sound when I fell
If no one was there to hear
ME
Crying out in my pain despair and agony
So I guess it's just as well
Yeah... I guess it's just as well

I guess ...
...it's just as well.
