Dead stars in j**elry boxes spill as we rush past them, lain to waste We can't have everything we want, some things will have to stay There is no beauty in the fire but there is beauty in the way your eyes locked willingly with d**h and d**h turned trembling away Like ice on pa**ing comets we move coldly, soundless, through it all but in the wordless space between us there is something like a song Each note exists within the silence, our hearts were moving it along You sing the melody so perfect; I can only get it wrong So I beg, just make the silence stop (it's exposed too much) I think I've had enough (time to let it go) It's always quiet and that was the sound of us (and it's k**ing me, I'm close to giving up) An hourgla** is spinning, tumbling right past me through the room Gravity long since gone, now an airless tomb The song that lived between us: here but out of tune The grains of sand escape the gla**, each one paler than the moon Entire planets empty with only dust and rocks to find
You escaped from here, leaving this behind You found an enemy in sorrow; I made a lover out of mine And now I'm running out of air and I'm begging Just make the silence stop (it's exposed too much) I think I've had enough (time to let it go) It's always quiet and that was the sound of us (And it's k**ing me, I'm close to giving up) What am I to say? We've been growing apart My infatuation with you began to slip into the void I watched it drift into the cosmos as anguish plagued my mind As we began to mirror all the space between the stars, I couldn't take the static I needed something more It wasn't easy finding something to live for, hearing your voice inside of every sound I saw a part of you in everything, took a moment to breathe, then let it run out Just make the silence stop (it's exposed too much) I think I've had enough (time to let it go) It's always quiet and that was the sound of us (And it's k**ing me, I'm close to giving up)
