Hello Darkness my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
still remains
within The Sound of Silence
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
still remains
within The Sound of Silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
narrow streets of cobble stone
Neath the halo of a street lamp
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
narrow streets of cobble stone
Neath the halo of a street lamp
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
“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 rain drops fell
and echoed in the wells of silence
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 rain drops 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 its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the signs said “The words of the prophets are written
on the subway walls
and tenement halls”
And whisper’d
in The Sounds of Silence
to the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the signs said “The words of the prophets are written
on the subway walls
and tenement halls”
And whisper’d
in The Sounds 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 dare
disturb The Sound of Silence.
ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking
people hearing without listening
People writing songs
that voices never share
and no one dare
disturb The Sound of Silence.
15. Elena - October 7, 2009 [Edit]To be able to say forgive me
For I’ve made mistakes
And to be able to forgive
for you’ve made mistakes
And to be able to neither be forgiven nor forgive
Because all is well
The battle is One
For I’ve made mistakes
And to be able to forgive
for you’ve made mistakes
And to be able to neither be forgiven nor forgive
Because all is well
The battle is One
I guess I’ve lost you
That ain’t no fun
But as long as you still are
And I still am,
Who said we couldn’t run?
That ain’t no fun
But as long as you still are
And I still am,
Who said we couldn’t run?
And you my most beloved
you’ve turned and run?
I let you down?
I moved the floor?
I stumbled across your door?
you’ve turned and run?
I let you down?
I moved the floor?
I stumbled across your door?
Shaking all around
I got my share of sound
And hurting all around
I thank you, thank you
and kiss the ground
I got my share of sound
And hurting all around
I thank you, thank you
and kiss the ground
To eat the mud
and drink the dung
To feel, to feel
The broken back
And still behind
To be like One
and drink the dung
To feel, to feel
The broken back
And still behind
To be like One
To plea
To please
To flee
To freeze
To shrink
and sink
and still
Be me
To please
To flee
To freeze
To shrink
and sink
and still
Be me
To explode
And live!
That’s me!
And live!
That’s me!
16. Elena - October 7, 2009 [Edit]To love,
And visit me
And be too afraid
To be with me
And visit me
And be too afraid
To be with me
To speak
To think
To fight
And feel
To think
To fight
And feel
To hold
To touch
To hear my words
Whisper
And scream
To touch
To hear my words
Whisper
And scream
And to hear you
Behind the silence
To know you
Behind the screen
To love you
And love you
And love you
Free.
Behind the silence
To know you
Behind the screen
To love you
And love you
And love you
Free.
