Silence

(álbum: Love Over Rage - 1994)

Well I woke up screaming when I found you gone
And now I can't even sleep without the TV on
'Cause I can't stand the silence
In the night

Well the bed is empty but the room is full
Of all the memories of things you used to do
I just can't stand the silence
In the night

When it's four in the morning and I'm lost in the dark
'Cause I can't find the target and I'm missing my mark
All my faith starts fading as the palpitations start
This silence is a nightmare and it's tearing me apart

I can stand the loneliness
Friends who never call
The chance remarks of strangers
And the writing on the wall
I just can't stand the silence
In the night

Coincidences make crazy sense
And I still feel you with me in the present tense
I just can't stand the silence
In the night

When it's four in the morning and I'm lost in the dark
'Cause I can't find the target and I'm missing my mark
All my faith starts fading as the palpitations start
This silence is a nightmare and it's tearing me apart

I can take uncertainty
And I can handle pain
And I can stand the emptiness
That's with me once again

I can stand the loneliness
Friends who never call
The chance remarks of strangers
And the writing on the wall
I just can't stand the silence
In the night
