Love Me In The Silence
Verse 1:
We live and love like springtide
The way Magellanic Clouds divide
Yielding to that drumming desire, an Anvil Chorus, the undressing of our past
We redeem ourselves with a sorrowed song
Sycophantically sing it, until every word is gone
Only to find that sobering silence between each note is what makes our love last
Chorus:
So how could I escape you now?
When your spirit screams "Virtue lives beyond the misery"
Those bruising words, Clever idols among us
Our tempestuous scars admired for their frailty
So how could I deserve you now?
When your soul sings "Beauty lives within the pain"
Its because love reverberates inside life's song of silence
Between each note...unheard, unseen, unnamed
When the music is subdued...When words don't come through
Love Me In The Silence
Verse 2:
We swayed along those rain-scapes
Silk passion stares, Wine drunken escapes
Running from our past, under Élysées Fields cover, through the nameless cafés
We discover where "truths" and "lies" finally meet
Watch them collide onto fleeting foe streets
With a deafening realization that "betrayal is forgiveness" in its own faithless way
Chorus:
So how could I escape you now?
When your spirit screams "Virtue lives beyond the misery"
Those bruising words, Clever idols among us
Our tempestuous scars admired for their frailty
So how could I deserve you now?
When your soul sings "Beauty lives within the pain"
Its because love reverberates inside life's song of silence
Between each note...unheard, unseen, unnamed
When the music is subdued...When words don't come through
Love Me In The ...
Bridge:
Absence of the voices, The ambience, The noises
A quietness we forget to hear, Is becoming clear
Underneath life's vociferous stresses, I can still find the best us
In an absorbing stillness, That pacifying place, A sheltered space
Somewhere in the silence
Chorus:
So how could I escape you now?
When your spirit screams "Virtue lives beyond the misery"
Those bruising words, Clever idols among us
Our tempestuous scars admired for their frailty
So how could I deserve you now?
When your soul sings "Beauty lives within the pain"
Its because love reverberates inside life's song of silence
Between each note...unheard, unseen, unnamed
When the music is subdued...When words don't come through
Love Me In The Silence
Ending:
Love me like a song...Until all of the words are gone
Between each note, In the untuned, The unknown, The unwrote
In the remaining, persuasive, still, sobering silence
You love me
