Silence

All those places
Where I recall
The memories that grip me
And pin me down

I go to these places
Pretending to think
I can think of nothing
But anticipate

And somehow
Expect you'll find me there
That, by some miracle
You'd be aware

I'd risen this morning
Determined to break
The spell of my longing
And not to think

I freed myself from my family
I freed myself from work
I freed myself
Freed myself
And remained alone

And in my thinking
Steal you away
Though you never wanted me anyway

Silence
Silence
Silence
Silence
