Silence is what this song's about

Numb to the world all around

Hoping it finds you some way

People needing to be saved

Scream out for help every day

But we grow numb to the sounds

And feelings slowly start to drown

The first time, we can hear a voice

But soon it all becomes noise

Fading to silence in the end

I know it doesn't make sense...

When sound all ceases to exist

People think that means happiness

The silence numbs all of our ears
