Here I am in silence
It’s a game I have to play
Oh, there’s an island where
all things are silent
I’m gonna whistle a tune
Open your eyes, Don’t say a word,
I’ll tell you why, You’re living a lie.
We are on a rock,
spinnin’ silently
If I don’t listen to the talk of the town
Then maybe I can fool myself
It was all a bad dream
spinning in your head
Back to the earth, I feel it –
Back to the earth I’m fallin’
I thought that I heard you laughing
The strange silence,
surrounding me,
grows closer, feels colder
But I’m ready, to suffer the sea –
Black water, take over
Oh, who would ever
want to be king?
