Sounds of Silence...

Tonight the world sounds silent
A deafening retrospect
All sound resonates through shivers
In my bones that are shiver-less
Hold me tight through this trepidation
Stay with me as I try to fall asleep
Take my hand, and walk with me tonight
Standing in my shadow, lost inside my dream

The moon is lost by distance
A world that craves it's light
A solace of hope untouchable
As the motionless take flight
Close your eyes, don't let me fade so slowly
Feel the pounding of hostility that cannot breathe
Take my hand, just hold it for tonight
Stand beside me always, forever despite belief

This feels like talking, but words have lost their place
This feels like touching, but hands no longer embrace
This feels like seeing, though blind to this state of grace
This feels like feeling, a reverence I'm intent to erase

If you must then walk away, before my eyes are open
Force this diversion, despite how much I cry
Steal my kiss, the last until these lips can breathe
Take it with you always, the apprehension of release
Insolence is piercing, words spoken by despair
Believe me please, even when I lie
Hold me, now show me, take all that I have
Take it with you and leave

This feels like talking, but words have lost their place
This feels like touching, but hands no longer embrace
This feels like seeing, though blind to this state of grace
This feels like feeling, a reverence I intentionally erase

Take what I say, solitary compassion
My essence free from your revelry
A carousel of conflicting convolution
Contrived atop their idiocy

This feels like talking, but words have lost their place
This feels like touching, but hands no longer embrace
This feels like seeing, though blind to this state of grace
This feels like feeling, a reverence I intentionally erase

Listen
Anticipate
Push me, but never pull
Take me now, even when I am in destruction
Release me
Breathe
