Oh sweet sound of silence,

you haunt me so.

You whisper soft words,

trying to lull me to sleep.

It does nto work this night,

you can't fight my mind.

My body says give in,

my mind wont concede tonight.

Nothing is there in this silence,

Nothing that I can grasp onto at least.

Oh steady ticking of my clock,

you sound of the hours gone by.

You tell of hours yet to come.

I wish to get lost in your soft rhythm.

I long to fade into the sway you speak of.

My body says just give in to you,

My soul wont let go tonight.

Nothing is here I tell myself,

Nothing that I feel deep within at least.
