so this is silence

The boy walked round the jagged rocks
Caught between ideals and desires
He sinks into oblivion
And there was silence, as he sat so still
Averted face stares at the floor
So this is silence
So this is silence
So this is silence
So this is silence

Listen, the sound of laughter
The frenzy and blind violence of fear
Listen, the sound of laughter
The frenzy and blind violence of fear

Alone again with light and silence
Alone again with the skies
Alone again with light and silence
Alone again with the skies

So this is silence
So this is silence
So this is silence
So this is silence

Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence.
Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence.
Girl laughs. Carcrash. Fox barks. Idiot cries.
Silence. Silence. Gunshots. Raindrops.
Silence. Gunshots. Gunshots. Silence.
