Mad silence is all around
Whispering to me
Ringing in my ears
The sounds of silence
Are all around

The sound of sadness
Rings loud and true
Pain in my heart
An ache to be healed
The sounds of sadness
Are all around

The sound of loneliness
I feel deep and true
Heart, house and life
Full
The sounds of loneliness
Are all around

The sound of pain
My pain
My life
My heart
The sounds of pain
Are all around

The sound of love I
Do desire
The sounds of love
Are all around

The sound of laughter
To abound
The sounds of laughter
Are all around

The sound of happiness
Someone to hold
The sounds of happiness
Are all around

All these sounds I
Hear
Someone else's laughter
Someone else's happiness
Someone else's love

Only my own loneliness
Only my own sadness
Only my own pain
Only my own mad silence
Ring in my ears
