Silence Is Now the Sharpest Dagger To the Heart

The blacked out world mutes loves counterpart

Silence is now the sharpest dagger to the heart

You hang on bated breath for a single word

The peace of sound will not be stirred

You can't keep calm surrounded by the lull

The speechless stare has left you dull

The stillness way has struck a nerve

Standing alone tall in there reserve 

The secret world they will now not share

They leave your black heart to die on dead air

The blacked out world mutes loves counterpart

Silence is now the sharpest dagger to the heart
