Hello
darkness
my
old
friend
I′ve
come
to
talk
with
you
again
Because
a
vision
softly
creeping
Left
it's
seeds
while
I
was
sleeping
And
a
vision
that
was
planted
in
my
brain
Still
remains
-
Within
the
sound
of
silence
In
restless
dreams
I
walked
alone
Narrow
streets
of
cobblestone
′Neath
the
halo
of
a
streetlamp
I
turned
my
collar
to
the
cold
and
damp
When
my
eyes
were
stabbed
by
the
flash
of
a
neon
light
-That
split
the
night
And
touched
the
sound
of
silence
And
in
the
naked
light
I
saw
Ten
thousand
people,
maybe
more
People
talking
without
speaking
People
hearing
without
listening
People
writing
songs
that
voices
never
share
-And
no
one
dared
Disturb
the
sound
of
silence
"Fools",
said
I,
"You
do
not
know"
"Silence,
like
a
cancer,
grows"
"Hear
my
words,
that
I
might
teach
you"
"Take
my
arms,
that
I
might
reach
you"
But
my
words,
like
silent
raindrops
fell
And
echoed
in
the
wells
of
silence
And
the
people
bowed
and
prayed
To
the
neon
god
they
made
And
the
sign
flashed
out
it's
warning
In
the
words
that
it
was
forming
And
the
sign
said,
"The
words
of
the
prophets
are
Written
on
the
subway
walls
- and
tenement
halls"
And
whispered
in
the
sounds
of
silence

Memory-
go
away
I
grow
weary
from
my
running
Hiding
for
so
long
I've
lost
my
way
Morning
light′s
reminders
Painting
colors
in
my
prison
Daylight
brightens
every
shade
of
grey
The
pain
never
ending,
and
now
it′s
so
cliche
Yesterdays
are
creaking
doors
And
noises
in
the
nighttime
Feelings,
only
chains
across
the
floor
Voices
on
the
wind,
softly
moan
I
hear
them
whisper
Mirrors
mock
the
man
I
was
before
My
mind
slowly
fading
Like
paper
in
the
rain
The
haunting,
it
still
remains
The
haunting,
it
still
remains
Turning
and
burning
in
my
bed
A
never-ending
ghost
That
lives
inside
my
head
Memory-
go
away
I
grow
weary
from
my
running
Hiding
for
so
long
I've
lost
my
way
Yesterdays
are
creaking
doors
And
noises
in
the
nighttime
Feelings,
only
chains
across
the
floor
My
mind
keeps
decaying
Like
paper
in
the
rain
The
haunting,
it
still
remains
The
haunting,
it
still
remains
Turning
and
burning
in
my
bed
A
never-ending
ghost
That
lives
inside
my
head
Memories
remain
of
the
haunting
Can′t
stop
the
pain
of
the
haunting:
