Silent Partner

I've been livin' in a lot of shadows Why won't you let me leave? And I've been tryna find my way to the shallows But the water's just too deep Always somethin' inside of me Keeps draggin' me down I'm goin' deeper in the undertow And it won't let go All I need is silence There's a thumpin' that's filled with violence And he creeps in through the walls at night when When I can't see, happy, frown, sad Good or bad, all I need is silence All I need is silence Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me I need silence So tired of breathin' in numbers Tryin' to stop my racin' heart All I know is that I want it to stop But I don't know where to start You're always on my shoulder, but I won't Try anymore And conversations that begin to shout Are you happy now? All I need is silence There's a thumpin' that's filled with violence And he creeps in through the walls at night when When I can't see, happy, frown, sad Good or bad, all I need is silence All I need is silence Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me I need silence All I need is silence Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me I need silence All I need is silence Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me I need silence There's a thumpin' that's filled with violence And he creeps in through the walls at night when When I can't see, happy, frown, sad Good or bad, all I need is silence All I need is silence Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me I need silence There's a thumpin' that's filled with violence And he creeps in through the walls at night when When I can't see, happy, frown, sad Good or bad, all I need is silence All I need is silence Oh, I'm cryin' out for silence You're not my partner, no you're not a part of me I need silence
