lyrics

there is a silence inside me & I try to give myself to it
even for just a moment
some kind of auditory respite
from the noises that sing daily and the sentiments that will try to down me
I know that the silence is willing
& I think that it may do me good
& prove a worthy & healthy distraction to the alternatives previously described
but I know too I must be careful
because with the silence comes a mirror
& with all mirrors come a reflection
face to face with imperfection
I must stare down my own self, my self
I must stare down my own self


there is a silence inside me & it is neither opponent or co-conspirator
I can spend years trying to find it
it proves unwilling to be summoned easily
& then one day
it takes hold
without forethought
or warning
it chokes out every last decibel of sound & places me in the centre of its vacuum
something wished for
but never wanted
I have little other choice but to learn its lessons
or succumb to the same fate as sound
for here is a still vibration, a flattened peak, & a circle squared
here is an empty nation; bringing peace yet waging war
the mirror is now unbreakable
I must stare down myself
I must stare down myself
I must stare down myself
