Silent Distance
(screeching feedback)
You drew the borders in the floorboards deep
A garden built of rules we had to keep
I learned to breathe without the common air
And left my outline standing silent there
(Break the glass!) A thousand miles of quiet in between (Too late
to mend!) The softest peace we've ever seen
We found our peace across the empty yard Too quiet now to
keep the final guard
The quiet blooms when neither speaks
A hollow throne for all the missing weeks
The portraits faded on the painted hall
A monument to words we can't recall
Distance was the only cure we bought
Now marble holds the mercy that we sought
(Close the door!) The horizon clears when no one calls my name
(Fade away!) A sanctuary built on silent blame
We found our peace across the empty yard
Too quiet now to keep the final guard (oh-oh-oh) The quiet blooms
when neither speaks
A hollow throne for all the missing weeks
(Too late!
Too late to bridge the stone!) You hear me best
when I am dust and gone (aaahhh)
We found our peace across the empty yard
Too quiet now
to keep the final guard (Too late!) The quiet blooms beneath the
stone
We built our freedom all alone
Only the silence keeps us whole
