Silence

Streetlights passing over my head
Stop signs covered by branches of fallen trees
Like fallen dreams collapsed by the strike of lightning
It's too late to slumber, too early to rise
Rising out of the ashes of a fire that died
And that's when...

Silence sounds a lot like a train wreck
Crashing through my walls
Tearing me at my seams
Building up from nothing
Exposing my hopes and my fears
Sounds only I hear

Leaves rustling off in the distance
The crackling dial of my old radio
A broken antenna, a familiar sound
Questioning, "Where are we?"
Just loud enough to hear, just loud enough to sing
Rising out of the speakers in the silence it brings

Silence sounds a lot like a train wreck
Crashing through my walls
And it's tearing me at my seams
Building up from nothing
Exposing my hopes and my fears
Sounds only I hear

Building up from nothing
I'm building up from nothing

Silence sounds like a train wreck
Silence sounds a lot like a train wreck)
Crashing through my walls (Crashing through my walls)
It's tearing me, oh yeah, it's tearing me at my seams
Building up from nothing
Exposing my hopes and my fears
Sounds only I hear
