Skyline

Wide awake Restless and aware In the heart Of the night In the core of the dark Wait for the morning that never comes In the silence Wait for the dawn Delayed I will await Fires to rise Horizon in flames The sun ascending I await for the dark These dreadful hours Like sand that flows Hourglass depleted With jaded eyes I stare the skyline For endless hours to be blinded by the light And the silence profound My loyal companion Solitude that never departs

When the words have been worn down And voices have died Seeking the reasons to reply Gather the strength to respond And the silence grows louder White noise reinforced And the silence cries louder Waves of sound reversed Hear me when I speak The words without a sound And try to comprehend Decipher the code of silence Translate the language of the numb I try to phrase The weight of the words Relieve the load I draw it on the walls Scars on my skin Of the wars within And the silence grows louder White noise reinforced And the silence cries louder Hear me when I speak The words without a sound And try to comprehend Decipher the code of silence Translate the language Hear me when I speak The words without a sound And try to comprehend Decipher the code of silence Translate the language of the numb
