The Silence Isn't So Bad.

I'm the type of girl who uses music to drown out reality.

"The silence isn't so bad...
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad,
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly.

I'll find repose in new ways.
Though I haven't slept in two days,
'Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone.

But drenched in vanilla twilight,
I'll sit on the front porch all night.
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so alone.

~

When violet eyes get brighter.
And heavy wings grow lighter,
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again.

And I'll forget the world that I knew.
But I swear I won't forget you!
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear,
'Oh darling, I wish you were here.' "
