there’s a deafening silence
so loud I can’t hear myself think
echoing down these empty hallways
the blank white covers walls of memories
When pain becomes so familiar
It’s forever knocking at your door
loneliness has become your best company
See there once was a story unfolding
like footprints covered by the ocean’s tide
beneath it time kept flowing
but never seen on either side
This silence can get so loud
It’s enough to drive a crazy man wild
memories can seem so alive
this life in the past can make you blind
When your favorite guest is an empty chair
best listener a ghost you don’t even know is there
It’s like an open wound that won’t stop bleeding
Hope drowned out by bloody despair
because when the sun comes up at three am
you find comfort costumed as agony
the best harmonies are heard in the sound of tears you’ve cried
Fear becomes the songs reprise
See there once was a story unfolding
like footprints covered by the ocean’s tide
beneath it time kept flowing
but never seen on either side
