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
