Silence

by The Crooked East

lyrics

As I was gettin’ ready,
I could see the distant city lights—
Blood on the left and fear up on my right.

Though few would claim it pretty,
Then again sometimes the stars will align—
Some will break through, but the others will fail to shine.

And I’ve been lost,
And I’ve been found,
And I’ve been lost again.

Oh, I’ve been lost,
And I was found,
But I’ll get lost again…

Hear ‘em talkin’ about the silence—
It’s only gettin’ louder, oh yeah.
I tried to get away but the sound just won’t let go.

Hear ‘em talkin’ about that silence—
It’s only getting louder, oh yeah,
I tried to get away but my ears want to explode.

Feelin’ kinda heavy,
Well, I dumped the beggar all my change—
One of us now’s never ever gonna be the same.

Legs are movin’ steady—
Found a rhythm never thought was mine to claim.
Today is all mine, but tomorrow’s up for debate.

‘Cause I’ve been lost,
And I’ve been found,
Then I’ve been lost again.

Oh, I’ve been lost,
And I was found,
Then I got lost again…

Hear ‘em talkin’ about the silence—
It’s only gettin’ louder, oh yeah.
I tried to get away but the sound just won’t let go.

Hear ‘em talkin’ about that silence—
It’s only getting louder, oh yeah,
I tried to get away but there’s just one way to go…
