Something set me thinking
When I opened up my eyes
That there was nothing there to tell me
I'd been listening to lies

But in silence there is truth
There is beauty, there is love
There is nothing in the silence
To be frightened of

Her retreat in so few words
Is the last thing you'd expect
But there's danger in assuming
That she's being direct

Take a look behind her eyes
And you will see
That she knows nothing of silence
Silence can only come from me

Allow me then a little time
To listen to their voices
It's the glamour and confusion
It's the rattling and the noises

That obscure the truth, the beauty,
And the love,
And the clarity that silence
Is the guardian of

She talks of clarity and silence,
Of beauty and of truth
But such a hurt for evidence
Such a *something for proof

Take a look behind her eyes
And you will see
That she knows nothing of silence
Silence can only come from me
