The Silence - Recovery Mafia

Found one of your old mixtapes Remembering listening to grace, I do But we were driving to DC I was drunk in your backseat, I know Nothing will ever be Like when were seventeen The stars will rearrange The sun will fade away Everyone will change But we will still remain And outlast the pyramids I will feel you I will see you I will hear you After the silence Remember all the frilly nights Driving down our ninety-five Singing in a smokey room When we had everything to lose, I do And when we got some room to breathe You said that you would marry me But even if we never do I will alway be with you, I know That nothing will ever be Like when we were twenty-three Maps will rearrange And blue will turn to grey Everything will change But we will still remain And outlast the pyramids I will feel you I will see you I will hear you After the silence The oceans can burn for all I care And in the ashes I'll meet you there I know someday the moon will blow away And all fish will decay Everything will change But we will still remain and outlast the pyramids I will feel you I will see you I will hear you And I will keep you After the silence After the silence After the silence Silence Silence

Tell me a piece of your history That you're proud to call your own Speak in words you picked up As you walked through life alone We used to swim in your stories And be pulled down by their tide Choking on the words And drowning with no air in sight Now you've hit a wall and it's not your fault My dear, my dear, my dear Now you've hit a wall and you've hit it hard My dear, my dear, oh dear It is not enough to be dumbstruck Can you fill the silence? You must have the words in that head of yours And oh, oh, can you feel the silence? I can't take it anymore Cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck Can you fill the silence? Tell me a piece of your history That you've never said out loud Pull the rug beneath my feet And shake me to the ground Wrap me around your fingers Break the silence open wide Before it seeps into my ears And fills me up from the inside Now you've hit a wall and you're lost for words My dear, my dear, my dear Now you've hit a wall and you've hit it hard My dear, my dear, oh dear It is not enough to be dumbstruck Can you fill this silence? You must have the words in that head of yours And oh, oh, can you feel the silence? I can't take it anymore, Cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck Can you fill the silence? If you give it a name, then it's already won What you good for? What you good for? If you give it a name, then it's already won What you good for? What you good for? If you give it a name, then it's already won What you good for? What you good for? If you give it a name, then it's already won What you good for? What you good for? Cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck Can you fill this silence? You must have the words in that head of yours And oh, oh, can you feel the silence? I can't take it anymore Cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck, oh

Tired of telling you, you have me When I know you really don't Tired of telling you I'll follow When I know I reallly won't Cause I'd rather stand here speechless With no great words to say If my silence is more truthful And my ears can hear how to walk in your way In the silence You are speaking In the quiet I can feel the fire And it's burning, burning deeply Burning all that it is that you desire to be silent, in me Oh Jesus can you hear me? My soul is screaming out And my broken will cries teach me What your Kingdom's all about Unite my heart to fear you, To fear your holy name Adn create a life of worship In the spirit and truth of your loving ways

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night and touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share And no one dared disturb the sound of silence "Fools", said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words, like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming and the sign said The words of the prophets are written On the subway walls and tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence
