lyrics

DON'T FALL SILENT

I know that you feel shipwrecked here, adrift on shifting sands
I see it in your empty eyes and the way you hold your hands
I feel it in the chamber where you spend your days alone
You say your work is solace though your love is far from home

And you have no voice in the silence of this dream
And you don’t know why nothing’s as it seems
You can deny this song I sing you
Just don’t fall silent
Don’t fall silent

Now some of us are aliens by accident or fate
Most of us are searching for someone to lift the weight
To play for us the music that til’ now we’ve never heard
And communicate the message that goes beyond these words

But you have no voice in the silence of this dream
And you don’t know why
Nothing’s as it seems
I believe a voice awaits you
Just don’t fall silent
Please don’t fall silent ... on me

The when - the why - the answers that we live for
I wish I had it down
I wouldn’t hesitate to send you a message
Give you a sound...

But I have no voice in the silence of your dream
And I don’t know why nothing’s as it seems
I believe a voice awaits you in the silence of this dream
It’s a faith I’m holding on to
Should you hear me scream
Just don’t fall silent on me
Don’t fall silent on me
Don’t fall silent
