The Sound Of Silence
Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left it's seeds while
I was sleeping
And a vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams
I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone '
Neath the halo of a streetlamp
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
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 dared
Disturb 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 raindrops 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 sign said
The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence 7
Memory go away
I grow weary from my running
Hiding for so long
I've lost my way
Morning light's reminders
Painting colors in my prison
Daylight brightens every shade of grey
The pain never ending
And now its so cliche
Yesterdays are creaking doors
And noises in the nighttime
Feelings
Only chains across the floor
Voices on the wind
Softly moan
I hear them whisper
Mirrors mock the man
I was before
My mind slowly fading
Like paper in the rain
The haunting
It still remains
The haunting
It still remains
Turning and burning in my bed
A never ending ghost
That lives inside my head
Memory go away
I grow weary from my running
Hiding for so long
I've lost my way
Yesterdays are creaking doors
And noises in the nighttime
Feelings
Only chains across the floor
My mind keeps decaying
Like paper in the rain
The haunting
It still remains
The haunting
It still remains
Turning and burning in my bed
A never ending ghost
That lives inside my head
Memories remain of the haunting
Can't stop the pain of the haunting：
