the silence, the silence, it spoke to me
with words unknown to my ears
I had never heard, I had never listened before
I tell you it knows.
the silence told me to do it,
it spoke to me, it whispered in my ear
commands to follow, the silence told me what to do
I listened and listened, and I heard the silence,
with perfect clarity, my world was explained,
reality brought into the light.
I walked into a crowded room, where silence could not be found.
noisy, so noisy
no one would stop talking!
they talked they whispered, they mumbled and grumbled,
but all I heard was screaming
and a wicked laughter that soon followed
I ran out screaming, trying to block them out
and I found myself alone. with the silence
ah, so beautiful, brought me relief
no one talking, no one screaming, no one laughing.
and again, I listened, and heard something different
"eliminate,
eliminate,
eliminate the noise"
it chanted. again and again.
The silence, the silence, again it spoke to me
with words unknown to my ears
I tell you, it knew
The silence told me to do it,
it spoke to me, it whispered in my ear
commands to follow, the silence told me what to do
"eliminate,
eliminate,
eliminate the noise"
I listened and listened, and I heard the silence,
with perfect clarity, my world was explained,
reality brought into the light.
I walked back into the crowded room,
the silence had armed me with more than knowledge
noisy, so noisy,
I eliminated the noise.
