The Void from Which No Sound Escapes

Away from here No sound to hear All of this work I want you to remain here I tear out my being I feed it to my children All of this work I want you to remain here No escape This void keeps gripping tighter Should I let it stay It might just swallow me whole Running away, running away I want you to remain I tear out my being And feed it to my children It keeps them sick with poison Addicted to these noises Not a single sound Escapes this void which cannot be found Speak louder so this voice will carry Speak now before we get too carried away What did you expect to hear? A voice so loud and so clear Breathing in and out a sigh Of sweet relief tonight What did you expect to be? But a cynical man just like me Drifting in and out of life Like curious moonlight When the fires fade And the river's dry When you speak my name Like a weighted sigh Why don't you hear the whisper in the void That we made real today Not a single sound Escapes this void which cannot be found Speak louder so this voice will carry Speak now before we all get carried away When the fires fade And the rivers dry When you speak my name Just to say goodbye I'm what you fear A whisper in the void With no escape, no escape When the fires fade And the rivers dry When you speak my name Like a weighted sigh Why don't you hear The whisper in the void That we made real today
