Sound of Silence
Every raindrop shouts, drumming on the roof
Its violent rhythm embraces the heavy air
Strumming monotonously on a pale glass window,
I'm lying in bed, his smile still plays on my head
Indulging myself in sentiment, I reminisce how he stared...
so sweet as freshly baked gooey butter cake.
'Twas yesterday when I glimpsed his face through the door.
My heart beat too fast, what a dumb coward I was.
I've just felt lifeless for he stole my soul
Please unchain my heart, completely trapped.
Despite the noise of rain, it's still a melody with no tone.
I should say "it's enough" in a flood of tears,
unrescued and drowned to the sound of silence.
