I'll Choose the Silence

from West of Zanzibar by Subterranean Howl

/

lyrics

Beautiful day
False as sunshine falling
She was crossing the grass
Looking like springtime falling

That perfect green grass
That perfect sky
Her perfect dress
This perfect day

She passed through the heat
Knowing inside was nothing
The budding leaves
Blossoms and flowers
Nothing

My words mean nothing
My arms are flesh and bone
I'll never let you go
I'll choose the silence

When the beat is lost
Nothing can make nothing
She holding ashes
and I'm holding ashes
And it's done

My jealous heart
My ruptured chest
I'll never let you go
I'll choose the silence

Years can pass
But nothing can fill up nothing
The edges erode
Idol holes beget canyons

The distance now
Now far enough
I'll never let you go
I'll choose the silence
