The Silence We Keep

Can we get out of this place?
A notion I can't erase

Seeking clarity in this shattered dream
Not long before the shadows went unseen
The midnights gloom casts me aside
Into a world unknown, decaying with my pride

Let the colors wash away

I watched the love slip right through my hands
When it's flowing through my fingers just like sand
I'm lost in the fabric of falling in motion
It's left by disease from a faint memory, a distant memory

The silence we keep
Leaves me bound to hoping one day I'll find my peace
Succumbing to a flawed design
When I say goodnight for one last time

Kill the ache inside of me
A light that was never mine
But the whole time I was by your side
Kill the ache inside of me
Watch the hourglass tip over
Time is slipping away

A silhouette I can't escape
A blurry dream that we crave
A vision left dead in a memory
Where do you go when you can't wake up?
When the parallels grow apart?
The silence suffocates

I watched the love slip right through my hands
When it's flowing through my fingers just like sand
I'm lost in the fabric of falling in motion
It's left by disease from a faint memory, a distant memory

Can we get out of this place?
A notion we can't erase
It's burning on my skin
Forever etched in me
It's the silence we keep and it's killing me
It's burning on my skin

Let the ego die
Perceiving change in new light
Coalesce the splintered mind
Your soul is blind

Consume the sky
We find ourselves
In the darkest nights, wander
Can we get out of this place?
A notion we can't erase
It's burning on my skin
