My relationship with Silence has been strained, I'll explain
You see it wasn't always like that, it was great, all my main
Ideas came from when we used to play, from the rain
Darkest grays, to the sunniest days, we were crazed
Ideas popping off, one after the other
Silence was my twin, my younger and older brother
But then I fell in love with her and it started to feel
Like he was just in the way, you know, that third wheel deal
Instead of Silence, I would hear her breath and I...
I could swear that I could hear her soul sing, no lie
But it's distant now though I know the song's still there
I can hear it still, sometimes, when I dare (it's rare)
For a while now, Silence and I haven't been close
I fill my atmosphere with background tv shows
He'll catch me sometimes, like when I just get up
And it's cool, we talk, til the day starts its rush
And he'll catch me sometimes as I'm about to sleep
Okay fine, every time, without him I'd be a zombie
But it's only fairly recently that I have truly tried
To put away the chatter on whose presence I've relied
It kills me because hearing him reminds me of her
Suddenly I'm shoving tears off my cheeks it's a blur
My body in shock, it's a panicked reaction
I hit play, I'm saved, picked up by Distraction
Watching Silence's face from the window, fading
He nods, he gets it, and says he'll keep waiting
I scream "I'll keep trying", as they're driving me off
To shelter, wow I guess these wounds are still so soft
And I guess I'm still lost, paid the heftiest cost
Cuz now I can't even confide in him, it pisses me off
Til I remember to breathe, something he'd always say
When you see Silence please tell him that I'm on my way
