The Sound of Silence - Simon & Garfunkle - YouTube Video
Hello mead, my old friend,
I've come to visit you again.
To save me from topics that aren't seemly.
To mask the things no one else should see.
To deal with things I don't wish to feel.
They're not real.
I seek the sound of silence.
You are my friend when I'm alone,
Or my love is far from home.
You block out that which is not nice.
You offer solace, but at what price?
You silence the voices that scream within my head.
But they're not dead.
It's just the sound of silence.
Will I drink again today?
To wash my fear and doubt away?
To heal a wound it cannot heal?
To help me feel when I cannot feel?
To help hide all of the darkness and the pain,
That still remains.
To find the sound of silence.
I must learn to find my way.
Leave mead behind for today.
Learn to deal with my own pain.
Learn to make myself whole again.
Learn to be the person I truly wish to be,
To be free.
From the sound of silence.
I will not drink today.
I won’t throw my life away.
I will live a life full of light.
I will do what I know is right.
I will show others how to live their lives the same way, every day.
Without the sound of silence.
