Deafening Silence

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, then 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, then 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 Mornings for adults Know the egalitarian 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, then 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 --- Deafening Silence - Serj Tankian
