You walked out like a line in verse Looking like you had rehearsed

No flowers on the windowsill Just silence I've yet to fill

I walked the autumn streets Walking to a silent beat

But even silence can betray The words we never chose to say

So I sit inside the silence It echoes like a hymn

I ask the cobblestones for guidance But they've got none to give

Even the birds have stopped talking and the sun looks too dim

I'm sitting inside the silence Learning how to live

Your ghost is in the coffee stain

In each uncertain swing of rain

The stars look down but never speak

And gravity keeps pulling weak

I hum the tunes you couldn't stand

They fit like rings I've never planned

If truth comes soft, it's just a blur

Drowned in days that never were

And if the sky forgets to cry I still reply, I still reply

I sit inside the silence

Yes I sit inside the silence

Oh I sit inside the silence still Learning how to live
