Silence Takes It All

The world is lost without you No, I am saying it wrong again The world has lost its color without you I am lost without you The silence is eating me again Swallowing the parts of me that are still you Still smell of your perfume Still taste like the sweat on your skin Still feel like bitter disappointment Fading echoes of what we used to be The silence takes it all Leaving nothing but memories haunting me Every shadow whispers your name Every sunset fades too soon The world spins but I stand still Trapped in the orbit of losing you The silence is eating me again Swallowing the parts of me that are still you Still smell of your perfume Still taste like the sweat on your skin Still feel like bitter disappointment Fading echoes of what we used to be The silence takes it all Leaving nothing but memories haunting me If I scream, will the silence break? If I run, will the past still chase? Tell me how to bring back the light Tell me how to make this right Still feel like bitter disappointment Fading echoes of what we used to be The silence takes it all Leaving nothing but memories haunting me Maybe someday the colors will return Maybe someday I'll learn to let go But tonight I drown in the quiet And let the silence swallow me whole
