Silence in shivering solitude   Obligations pressure for all to bear   All the pitiful answers, the innocent lies   Can mere words fill   The emptiness from which I fed?      Be gone, oh yielding evidence of greed   Safe now in the other shore   Behind: The emptiness from which I fled      Can silence be shared?   If so, can the perception of silence   Fit into the frame which is represent   The unity for which we stand?   The confines representing a timeless sacrifice   No eye can of silence tell lie      Silence, yet the absence of sound   Does not feed me   The essence of beauty alone   Fall silent to lingering charm      Brought forth be the sun   Shed light on the emptiness      What can be extracted from nothing   What can be found within the emptiness   Be gone, oh yielding evidence of greed   Safe now on the other shore   Behind: The emptiness from which I fed      Brought forth be the errors of our ways   As is denial so is contempt   Introspective to all but one   Tear apart the flames   No eye can of silence tell lie      How can I even begin   The battle where no one wins   From answers I now flee      Screaming out too no avail   Have I become what for so long I've dread   The missing pieces   Must now be replaced      What eyesight fails to grasp   Is the emptiness from which I fled
