There's a silence that time has long forgotten,
Where shadows have escaped from the light.
This void has been absent without history,
As solace silently comforts to the night.
Leaves me to wonder what became of this noise...
Was it static or uninformative towards the end?
Maybe it became just too damn annoying,
With an expense that no one wanted to spend.
