Are we thriving on silence?
Do you not think that I know?
I can hear your heart all the way down here
It screams out, shouts, unyielding to your stubbornness woe


Words often spoken, seldom heard
Occupy this room
As I have sang this song before
Yes, I too know this silent tune


Someday I hope you will learn
You cannot hide your heart from this love
For the song of silence takes its toll on the soul
When you're alone and push comes to shove


That this song will have to play its self out
Is a given, I know this is true
Nevertheless, your hearts lyric gives you away
Unwittingly I'll sing this song with you


There is one more thing
I'm not sure if you knew
Your song of silence, you choose to sing
Was written by a fool

Oh my, sometimes silence is louder than screams. What do you suppose she is saying?
passing shadows
