Silence (Songs that Speak Series)

I never understood the sound of silence
But now I do
Now I do

Sometimes silence is agonizing. An unanswered text, the blank look across the table, loneliness, the void of God's answers. This song is super angsty. It may remind you of lost love or friendship or what feels like the absence of God. This song provides no answers... but perhaps one of the steps of healing far too often missed is allowing ourselves to sit in the angst and acknowledge the pain of waiting in silence.

Silence

I never understood the silence
But now I do
Now I do
I'm overwhelmed by the
deafening noise of silence
being shouted by you

And all I do is pray 
for the silence to be broken someday

I'm all alone in the sound of silence
I'm crying all alone in the sound of silence
And I can't make any sense
of this noise of silence
the heartbreaking sound
of  your silence

This silence vibrates through my bones
Echoes through my heart and my soul

I'm all alone in the sound of silence
I'm crying all alone in the sound of silence
And I can't make any sense
of this noise of silence
the heartbreaking sound
of your silence

I never understood the sound of silence
But now I do
Now I do
