Slippery Silence

(mmmmm) You call me late

to watch the shadows stretch across the floor

But you don't even know what you are looking for anymore

Static on the wire,

smoke is in the air

You pretend you're listening,

but you're not really there

We are

fading into the dark,

lost in the cityscape spark (lost

in the spark)

Trying to

hold what we cannot keep,

buried under secrets so deep

Your promises are paper thin,

dissolving in the rain

Another empty habit that we use to mask

the pain

We run, we spin,

we fall right back again

Where does the haze end and the truth begin?

(where does it begin?)

We are

fading into the dark,

lost in the cityscape spark (lost in

the

spark) Trying to

hold what we cannot keep,

buried under secrets so deep

Lost

in the haze... Just a shadow in the rain...
