Lightning In A Twilight Hour

The Death Of Silence

Album: Slow Changes [2015]
Author: Robert James Wratten © Elefant Publishing

Maintaining radio silence

Keeping a low profile

Facing a world of white noise

Just became a trial

 

Talking all the time

Do they ever pause for breath?

There’ll be no minutes silence

For silence and its death

 

Now everyone’s a publisher

And there’s ‘no less said the better’

What is and isn’t worth saying

Hardly seems to matter

 

Everybody wants to tell you everything

There’s no mystery anymore

Everybody feels the need to confess

I just wish they’d tell me less

 

Everybody wants to tell you everything

There’s no mystery anymore

Everybody feels the need to confess

I just wish they’d tell me less

 

Maintaining radio silence

Keeping a low profile

As the noise around me increased

I became more quiet
