Silence As A Weapon

You use silence as a weapon

Each long second a victory

So short for you

EternitY

All my grand intentions

To Garbo-like pretentions

Fall so soon to you

Leaving me nothing

Only words chasing down

Hard and bright

Like dust falls as meteorites

And the dogs bark

But your caravan moves on

Trailing lines of tangled dreams behind you

And the dogs bark

But all witnesses are gone

While sleepy girls awake who don't yet know you

But the person that you run from

Isn't that girl, or the next one

And her charms were awful bright

All those sad connections

All temporary diversions

Rolling down the years

Saving your faith from

All the words chasing down

Hard and bright

Like dust falls as meteorites

The dogs bark

But your caravan moves on

Trailing lines of tangled dreams behind you

And the dogs bark

But all witnesses are gone

While sleepy girls awake who don't yet know you

You use silence as a weapon

Being with you a cold heaven

A leo fire

A thread of smoke

But someday you'll be happy

A light will surround you

Fire will rise again

You'll follow your own star

Of all the sparks in the sky

Hard and bright

Like dust falls as meteorites

And the dogs bark

But your caravan moves on

Trailing lines of tangled dreams behind you

And the dogs bark

But all witnesses are gone

While sleepy girls awake who don't yet know you
