It's a crying shame The way we fall apart Love's no fitting game For he who's meek of heart We fan the dying flame With tender loving words Too gentle Too gentle to be heard The silence it will beat you to the ground Will eat you up inside... no living sound Could ever cause you pain as bad as this... I am lying low To see if I can find A way of letting go Of you... but keep my mind I am trying so To deal with the absurd But can't find... can't find the words The silence it will beat you to the ground Will eat you up inside... no living sound Could ever cause you pain as bad as this... No roll of drums But silence comes To take your place And fill the empty space You left to me The silence it will beat you to the ground Will eat you up inside... no living sound Could ever cause you pain as bad as this...
