Vital signs outside Just flicker and fade Like colors in the dark We're not lost, we just cannot be seen In the quiet, our shadows alive We drink to the stillness of rain We dance with our demons Till morning’s first light We only want to be left Left here alone What is there to say When silence speaks in overtones Above and below our minds What we hear inside of the dark We don't want to know These failures in our own design And the light that is fading away Should we listen when silence speaks? Like our dying stars We burn ever so bright In solitude unknown Never fear, our chosen companion is here In the nighttime alone, not forsaken Take solace in echoes of time When we sing to the heavens And no one replies A truth we cannot admit Is hiding behind What is there to say When silence speaks in overtones Above and below our minds What we hear inside of the dark We don't want to know These failures in our own design And the light that is fading away Should we listen when silence speaks? So what can we say When silence speaks in overtones And waits inside of the night Is it safe behind our walls So what can we say When our world is not our own So just who can we trust When silence speaks our name
