Deafening silence lyrics

I know who you are

I know who you are not

I know who you are

I, I know who you are not

The silence is deafening to my ears

How could the obvious be ignored?

The silence is threatening when she appears

The ceremony is performed

I'm here to paint you with my tears

Decried my spirit over my fears

I can't walk away from all the years

Serene inside, she disappears

Ends of my mind, my thoughts trembling

The hands of time, time always meddling

The silence is deafening to my ears

How could the obvious be ignored?

The silence is threatening that she appears

The ceremony is performed

I'm here to paint you with my tears

Decried my spirit over my fears

I can't walk away from all the years

Serene inside, she disappears

Nightlights are for children,

Morning is for adults

Know the egualitartian equinox

The hands of my mind, my thoughts trembling

The hands of time, time always meddling

Silence is deafening to my ears

How could the obvious be ignored?

The silence is threatening when she appears

The ceremony will always be performed

The silence is deafening to my ears

Seized by the impressions of passers in the night

I'm here to paint you with my tears

Decried my spirit over my fears

I can't walk away from all the years

Serene inside, she disappears

I'm here to paint you with my tears

Decried my spirit over my fears

I can't walk away from all the years

Serene inside, she reappears

I know who you are.
