Perfect Silence

Pulled those bridges down
Made a perfect silence
Voices of unknown
Start to grip my mind
Holding to the ropes for
Another round of
Weightless and hopeless
Taking my pulse again
Sealed into a dream
No escape from the darkness
The torment never sleeps
Shake my cage all the night
Don’t know what is real
What is trust without waking
I must be done here
I can no longer sleep
Pulled those mirrors down
It’s the staring eyes that
Hold me in their sights
Every time I try
To turn this ship around
Against the swell
Don’t fight it
Go where the wind goes
Throw off the holding ropes
Slow down some, it won’t get
Fixed til it falls apart
Now you’re on your own
Take courage in a new start
Cos no-one knows you like I do
It’s the little things
That hold us all together
When the cracks start appearing
I could be made to stay
If I knew what kept me
I must be leaving
Couldn’t explain a thing
