The Basis On Which I Speak

Tonight is silent

I hear no sound at all

The dark sky is brilliant

And I still get no call

Not knowing where we belong

Seems this world can be so wrong

Where do we turn

Now that we know all we can learn

When the light cries out

Making me want to scream and shout

I know this is not the end

This life's not pretend

I lost everything now

I thought I'd forever keep here somehow

And I've done all I can do

Still my thoughts drift back to you

This all ended so wrong

Not knowing where we belong

This night is too silent

And I still sit here alone

Waiting for a fake conversation to come on a phone

Something she told me was something she'd do

Now I am sitting here wondering if she is like you

And the God to which I'm praying

Won't show his face right now

Please listen to what I'm saying

I want a better life for me and you somehow

Help the hurtful memories to fade

Allow me to get lost here in the shade

Let me sleep away the day

For that is the only way

To get back on my feet once again
