Silence of Love

In all that we do
with all that we say
the conclusion is this
Nothing is here to stay
Empty promises
broken vows
hide in darkness
it's over now
into the silence
again, to fall
forget what it was
forget it all
nothing to win 
nothing to lose
nothing but fear
of being used
each word you told me
each moment that passed
sticks with me wholly 
filled my empty glass
now you change 
all the words you said
into sharpened blades
that impale my head

Wait for the darkness to come around
as the moon falls in without a sound
and the sky turns black
no stars are seen
visions of nothing in between
explosions of thought ride high in my mind
ne'er a whisper you'd be so unkind
wait for the darkness to come around
as the moon falls in without a sound
and the sky turns black
no stars are seen
visions of nothing
in between

silence of bells
no words on the screen
draining inside
silence the scream
enter the feeling
to drowning to state
you make me sit here
sit here and wait
as my mind travels 
in so many ways
what are you doing love?
why don't you stay?
where are we going?
what am I to do
when I can't get through this life
without you

you said you loved me
you said you were mine
you left me in silence
your feelings went blind

and I sit and wait
for darkness to come around
and the moon falls in 
without a sound
the sky turns black
no stars to be seen
and the visions of nothing
in between
Ne'er a whisper
you'd be so unkind
for explosions of thought
consume my mind

Logic and love
oh, what a pair
when the darkness falls in
leaving nothing but despair
