Silent times

the cars go screaming by

but i can't hear a thing inside my mind

i couldn't even shout to ask you why

why you stopped believing

no sound to this heart beat

i only feel the trains beneath my feet

the ground is shaking now or is it me

cos i've lost all feeling

in this quiet place

these are silent times

the words wither away

just like a flower that dies

there's nothing left to say

you tell yourself you're fine

but inside you despise your quiet lies

there's no way to disguise what's in your eyes

the tears that are streaming

and how can you explain

when no one understands a word you say

and everything that's left will fade to grey

and lose all its meaning

what to say

these are silent times

the words wither away

just like a flower that dies

there's nothing left to say

and these are silent times

we hide it all away

there's nothing left but space

there's nothing left to save

silence is all you've left behind

its only purpose to remind

me of the time i can't rewind

there's nothing left to save

words only break your heart again

too late to ever make amends

lost all your faith and confidence

there's nothing left to say

there's nothing left to say

there's nothing left to say

there's nothing left to say

and these are silent times

we hide it all away

there's nothing left but space

there's nothing left to save
