There’s no silence in the night

Only scream of madness behind the light

Coming from the deepest hole

Coming from a blackened soul

Lost forever in space and time

Living in the darkness of the mind

There’s no escaping the dark and cold. cold prison

It’s all in the mind of a mind with no reason



So, you let the screams in like a long-lost friends because you don’t know any better

But the storms in your head are raging stronger and stronger as nothing comes together

There’s no silence in the night

Everything is wrong, and nothing’s right

You can’t see it, but you follow the sound

Sniffing around and taking chase like a good old hunting hound



You avoid the light because it hurts your eyes

All your life, you’ve lived with darkened skies

The sounds of madness that come in the night

Are the sounds of your life behind the light

It’s not your fault; there’s just something wrong

They just didn’t think it would last this long



There’s no silence in the night

All the light is locked down tight

The winds carry evil whispers that turn to shrills

You just sit back because you love the thrill

You’ve become blinded by the darkness in your mind

You’re too far gone

Your life is in another time



There’s no silence in the night

That’s wrong for me, but for you, that’s right

I’m up on the surface, avoiding black holes

It’s the place to be, and that everyone knows

I’ll take the sunshine and the silver moon at night

The warmth from their glows fills your soul just right

Take your lightless whispers and keep them in your head

It’s really not your fault

It’s just something that I’ve heard said
