With You Came Silence

Two lovers, we met with the poetry in France

We painted our life on broken glass

Lost in the moment it felt right this time

Beyond the embers of life glowing all around us

It was always there waiting to take me away

Dark and unwelcoming

Out of the blindness my hands freaked again, it's getting harder

Tongue tied and strung out we learned how to pray

Into shapes, safe in my permanent gaze

I can't really speak to you anymore

Her presence melts away the past

Drifting apart like leaves on a stormy sea

Why didn't I get the chance to try

There came the end of all beauty in life

She was meant to be our shelter from the madness

I thought she would make a difference

But Julia, she made it even worse

I thought she would make a difference

She made it even worse

I never saw the end until it came like the coldest wind

It cracked the sky open and I was left out in isolation

Out of the blindness my hands freaked again, it's getting harder

Tongue tied and strung out we learned how to pray

Into shapes, safe in my permanent gaze

I can't really speak to you anymore

Her presence melts away the past

Drifting apart like leaves on a stormy sea

Why didn't I get the chance to try

I was the dark star on our glimmering sky

The failing father I'd never become
