The Quiet Fade
(hummmm) Dust floats in a beam of yellow light
Blanket feels heavy as a sheet of lead
Morning came without making a sound
Cannot find a reason to get up
Coffee on the desk is getting cold
Staring at the stain upon the wall
Everything is too quiet in this place Like the clock stopped ticking
yesterday
Silence is loud in the afternoon
Waking up alone in an empty room Silence is loud and I
cannot move
Lost in a day with nothing to prove Silence is loud in
the afternoon
Waking up alone in an empty room Silence is loud and I
cannot move
Lost in a day with nothing to prove (ooh)
Curtains are drawn to keep out the day
Messages are glowing on my phone
I don't have the energy to care
I don't even recognize my face
Dust is settling on my favorite book
Time is just a circle I cannot break
Feeling like I'm fading into gray
Nothing left for me to really say
Maybe the sun will never set again
Maybe I am part of the furniture now
Just a ghost in a faded blue sweater
Learning how to live
inside the quiet
Silence is loud in the afternoon
Waking up alone in an empty room
Silence is loud and I cannot move
Lost in a day with nothing to prove Silence is loud in
the afternoon
Waking up alone in an empty room
Silence is loud and I cannot move
Lost in a day with nothing to prove
Just another day to lose
Silence is loud (ahhhh)
