+108 hello darkness my old friend ive come to talk with you again because a vision softly creeping left its seeds while i was sleeping and the vision that was planted in my brain stills remains within the sound of silence...in restless dreams i walked alone narrow streets of cobblestone 'neath the halo of a street lamps i turned my collor to the cold and damp when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night and touched the sound of silence and in the naked night i saw ten thousand people maby more people talking without speaking people hearing without listening people writing songs that voices never share and none dare disturb the sound of silence "fools" said i "you do not know" silence like a cancer grows hear my words that i might teach you take my arms that i might reach you but my words like silent raindrops fell and echoed in th wells of silence and the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made and the sound flashed out its warning and the words that it was forming and the sign said "the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and the tenement halls" and whispered in the sound of silence

Hello, I'm here to say that you can't hold me back. Darkness you use to be my fear. But now your my fellow friend, who lurks the corner criticizing my ways. But you can't bring me down again, you've done it once, you've done it done!

+108 I should have seen those signs all around me,
But I was comfortable inside these wounds;
So go ahead and take another piece of me now
While we all bow down to you;
You tear me down and then you pick me up,
You take it all and still its not enough,
You try to tell me you can heal me,
But Im still bleeding and youll be
The death of me!
How can you end my affliction
If youre the sickness and Im the cure?
Too long Ive faked this addiction,
Another sacrifice to make us pure;
You tear me down and then you pick me up,
You take it all and still its not enough,
You try to tell me you can heal me,
But Im still bleeding and youll be
The death of me!
You tear me down and then you pick me up,
You take it all and still its not enough,
You try to tell me you can heal me,
But Im still bleeding and youll be
The death of me!
I wont forget;
I cannot forget this;
I wont forget;
Ill never forget this;
I wont forget;
I cannot forget this;
I wont forget;
Ill never forget this;
I wont forget!
I cannot forget this!
I wont forget!
Ill never forget!
You know I can never prove this solution;
You arent the one that I thought you were;
And so I learn to embrace this illusion,
You tear me down and then you pick me up,
You take it all and say its not enough,
You try to tell me you can heal me,
But Im still bleeding and youll be
The death of me!
And youll be the death of me!
I will not forget!
I cannot forget this!
And youll be the death of me!
