The sound of silence

The moments pass of loneliness

And the ticking clock repeats within the sound of my empty room

But my solemn heart still beats

The days they break when he’s not here

My eyes are red but my skies are clear

The sound of silence can sometimes be so loud

Standing in the middle of a mute crowd

As the time passes I lay here alone listening to the echoes

Cause no ones home

The loneliness builds

As does the time that kills

It hurts me to think of me here and you there

I drive away and leave you in the noise of despair

Then I come home

And I see no ones going to be there

The sound of silence is all that I have grown to know

Even those I have loved have chosen to let go

My sister she cries of many wrong turns

My brother he hides from a past he can’t burn

Here I sit, I sit I watch and I learn

The silence it tells me that I’m headed in the right path

My mind it tells me I can escape the wrath

And so in time the silence will lift and I will embrace my life as a gift

You will be here, here with me

No longer will I be here alone

Waiting for even a faint sound of a phone

In time you will be here to break the silence of my room

The sound of silence will all end soon.
