I know who you are
I know who you are not
I know who you are
I, I know who you are not
The silence is deafening to my ears
How could the obvious be ignored?
The silence is threatening when she appears
The ceremony is performed
I'm here to paint you with my tears
Decried my spirit over my fears
I can't walk away from all the years
Serene inside, she disappears
Ends of my mind, my thoughts trembling
The hands of time, time always meddling
The silence is deafening to my ears
How could the obvious be ignored?
The silence is threatening that she appears
The ceremony is performed
I'm here to paint you with my tears
Decried my spirit over my fears
I can't walk away from all the years
Serene inside, she disappears
Nightlights are for children,
Morning is for adults
Know the egalitarian equinox
The hands of my mind, my thoughts trembling
The hands of time, time always meddling
Silence is deafening to my ears
How could the obvious be ignored?
The silence is threatening when she appears
The ceremony will always be performed
The silence is deafening to my ears
Seized by the impressions of passers in the night
I'm here to paint you with my tears
Decried my spirit over my fears
I can't walk away from all the years
Serene inside, she disappears
I'm here to paint you with my tears
Decried my spirit over my fears
I can't walk away from all the years
Serene inside, she reappears
I know who you are.
