Paul Draper
The Silence is Deafening
And my head starts to ache
And it feels wonderful
And you gave me the space
To work out who I am
To decide why I’m here
In the vacuum that you left
To completely isolate
To destroy everything
Practice being uncomfortable for the sake of someone elses life
The silence is deafening
Just because you’re absent here, doesn’t mean your presence isn’t felt
The silence is deafening

And the noise starts to build
To come back to my life
And eventually calm
To completely isolate
To be normal again
With this ominous truth
That the agony became
Addictive like you

Practice being uncomfortable for the sake of someone elses life
The silence is deafening
Just because you’re absent here, doesn’t mean your presence isn’t felt
The silence is deafening

And my head starts to ache
And you gave me the space to work out who I am
