“Silence Reigns'” first recording is on OTHERWISE’s self-titled album. Compared to it’s re-recorded counterpart, it sounds more optimistic and hopeful. In addition, it was recorded with a different lineup.
[Verse 1]
I saved a piece of myself
From the ashes of a burning misery
You tried deceiving yourself
But what you get from me is what you see
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It breaks me down
What's left of me
And all the pain
Is fading away from me
[Chorus]
I'm over you, I've realized you're not the only one
I'm free of you, I've opened my eyes
You're not the only one
[Verse 2]
Imprisoned under your skin
Is an angel bound by callous apathy
I feel it growing within
A better life for me now that I'm finally free
[Pre-Chorus 2]
It broke me down
What's left of me
And all the pain
Has faded away from me
[Chorus]
I'm over you, I've realized you're not the only one
I'm free of you, I've opened my eyes
You're not the only one
[Bridge]
I see your face in my dreams
The way you taste is haunting me
Do you see reflections of my sorrow (Sorrow)
Or hear my voice when silence reigns?
[Outro Chorus]
I'm over you, I've realized you're not the only one
I'm free of you, I've opened my eyes
You're not the only one
