The Sound of Silence

The Sound of Silence The silence returns Like the plague, it grows A familiar feeling takes hold My old friendHas come to visit againAs fog rolls in, the visions returnThe angels close their eyesAnd confusion sets in
Running from the past And hiding from the manifestationsI drown in sorrow Silence feeds on my soulThat is forever lost to sinThis misery of shame and regretThat my old friend Won’t let me forget
Somehow, I’m neither here nor thereThe torment is too much to bearFor what is killing meAre all these things I cannot forget? When my old friend comes and visits  In the Silence of regret
