Silence

Alone in the darkness
I can hear my demons whispering.

And I can feel the blade
Feathering against my skin

Then, just then
A moment of silence fill the air

But it has to go away
In the end it always goes away

And the demons come again
But it's different 'cause this time
They're determined to stay

But there is one way
One way to hear the silence again

***

For once it's utterly quiet
And quiet it will stay !
