Listen to the words unspoken-
The rolling thunder of silence.
There's not a single thought-
But a constant, quiet noise.
An ever lasting storm-
Deep inside your mind.

And you say you don't mind-
These phrases unspoken.
Yet you leave a storm-
When you part in silence.
Leaving wakes of shattered noise-
In a deep sea of thought.

But I don't understand your thoughts-
When I can not read your mind.
With all these shattered noises-
My words will be unspoken.
A never ending silence-
In spite of this inner storm.

And you have created this storm-
Without a single thought.
Forgetting everyone in silence-
Without listening to your mind.
And my words are still unspoken-
Quieted by the noise.

Forever, I will long your noise-
As I suffocate in this storm.
Your silence shows me lies, unspoken.
As I drown in this sea of thought.
And I cannot escape this state of mind-
When you stand there in silence.

I'm still crying out in silence-
Drowning in this sea of noise.
Unwilling to lose my mind-
As you leave me with this storm.
And still I don't have any thought-
Strangled by words unspoken.

I'm still waiting here in silence, smothered in this storm.
Standing here with shattered noise, you haven't left my thoughts.
Yes, deep inside my mind, I wait with words unspoken.
