Lady love, does she avoid me? Does she not hear me sigh?
Does she not hear me call to her? Is silence where I lie?
this Godforsaken silence rings, it maddens me to hear
a silent ringing around me. It throws me in to fear
To call out for her in loudness and an answer comes none.
Lady love, does she avoid me? Am I forgotten one?
The fear turns to anxiety, the silence turns me mad.
in the back of my head, she's the best I ever had.
but silence has taken it's toll and anger has set in.
What have I done to have silence? Tell me, what is my sin?
Am I cursed for I loved too much, that silence is my home?
An I wonder where she is now. Where does Lady love roam?
Am I doomed never to hear her? Am I doomed in silence?
Or is she the one who cursed me the grim of silent fence?
So I doze off to silent sleep to be accustomed with it.
To be alone in silent woods with no one but my wit.
But silence can be maddening, in time I'll loose me too.
This silent ringing lullaby will torture me of you.
So bring it on, I'll take the burn, slumber with the fire
and throw me down the pit of pain, bury me a liar.
At least I'll know you would hurt me than have silence do it.
I would rather hear you curse me than curse me with the quiet.
