When Silence Speaks

Vital signs outside
Just flicker and fade
Like colors in the dark
We're not lost, we just cannot be seen

In the quiet, our shadows alive
We drink to the stillness of rain
We dance with our demons
Till morning’s first light
We only want to be left
Left here alone

What is there to say
When silence speaks in overtones
Above and below our minds
What we hear inside of the dark
We don't want to know
These failures in our own design
And the light that is fading away
Should we listen when silence speaks?

Like our dying stars
We burn ever so bright
In solitude unknown
Never fear, our chosen companion is here

In the nighttime alone, not forsaken
Take solace in echoes of time
When we sing to the heavens
And no one replies
A truth we cannot admit
Is hiding behind

What is there to say
When silence speaks in overtones
Above and below our minds
What we hear inside of the dark
We don't want to know
These failures in our own design
And the light that is fading away
Should we listen when silence speaks?

So what can we say
When silence speaks in overtones
And waits inside of the night
Is it safe behind our walls
So what can we say
When our world is not our own
So just who can we trust
When silence speaks our name
