You’ll Be The Silence

You threw ideas into the wind
Just to see where they would land:
Making sounds and using words
You could barely understand

You caught the music of the moment by accident
You caught the moments in the music by chance

You would love -
Oh, how you’d love -
Oh, how you’d love to do that now

The others were heads
And you were the straight
They stayed in their beds
You bolted out of the gate

You were brought alive by the sound of applause
You made the music and the moments all yours

You would love -
Oh, how you’d love -
Oh, how you’d love to be there now

You sit by the roadside
In the corner of your eye
You see the traffic pass you by

You look in the mirror
Make adjustments to your tie:
You hear the traffic pass you by

You feel the world collapsing all around

You went on stage together
But the lights pulled you apart
You went on stage together
But you failed to find the art

Something died
And there was nowhere to hide
You couldn’t hold back the tide
(Something had died)

Once the world was yours
And the world was for people like you
Now the world is theirs
And the world is for people like them

You’ll be the silence
And they can make the noise
