• The silence is killing me

    The background noise drowns us out again
    or is it really even that loud?
    weve now become only just friends
    you and I will blend in with the crowd

    Our words have caused permanent scars
    I no longer know who you are
    taken from your eyes are the stars
    my words wont reach you from this far

    gone is your greeting and the smell of your shampoo
    gone is the way you finished the announcers sentences
    gone is your voice on my machine
    gone is the way three little words would put my world at ease
    gone is my pride

    it sure has gotten quiet now that youre gone
    the tv cant seem to get loud enough
    I never knew the volume in my car could go so high
    I never realized how deafening the silence of my empty house is

    Who knew I would long to hear the voice that caused so much damage
    The silence is really killing me.
