Silent Partner

I've been living in the light of the shadows

Why won't you let me leave?

And I've been trying to find my way to the shallows

But the water's just too deep

Always something inside of me keeps dragging me down

I'm going deep below the undertow

And it won't let go

All I need is

Silence

There's a thumping that's filled with violence

And it creeps in through the walls at night when

When I can't see happy from sad, good or bad

All I need is silence

All I need is silence

Oh, I'm crying out for silence

You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me

I need

Silence

So tired of breathing in numbers

Trying to stop my racing heart

Oh, all I know is that I want it to stop

And I don't know where to start

Your always on my shoulder praying I won't try anymore

Conversations that begin to shout

Are you happy now?

All I need is

Silence

All I need is

Silence

There's a thumping that's filled with violence

And it creeps in through the walls at night when

When I can't see happy from sad, good or bad

All I need is silence

All I need is silence

Oh, I'm crying out for silence

You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me

I need

Silence

All I need is silence

Oh, I'm crying out for silence

You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me

I need

Silence

There's a thumping that's

Silence, all I need is silence

All I need is silence

Oh, I'm crying out for silence

You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me

I need

Silence

There's a thumping that's filled with violence (silence)

And it creeps in through the walls at night when (silence)

When I can't see happy from sad, good or bad
