The Silence

Behold the incredible shrinking woman, wow

She looked like me but she shrank her spirit down

To make room for the thoughts you filled with doubt

And when you were finally gone, I couldn't drown 'em out

Your constant voice

Echoed in my head and told me why

I should be someone else instead

And every night I cried

Listening to your lies inside my mind

Went blind, but now I see

And sex is good but have you ever tried--

Ahhh, the silence

Ahhh, some peace and quiet

Ahhh, the silence

Ahhh, some peace and quiet

Behold the marvelous absence of your face

That once held me as a hostage for my mistakes

Forgot the feel of a quiet love's embrace

There's no beauty like the beauty of empty space

Your constant voice

Echoed in my head and told me why

I should be someone else instead

And every night I cried

Listening to your lies inside my mind

Went blind, but now I see

And sex is good but have you ever tried--

Ahhh, the silence

Ahhh, some peace and quiet

Ahhh, the silence

Ahhh, some peace and quiet

Shh, quiet

Shh, quiet

Shh, quiet

Shh, quiet

Shh, quiet

Shh, quiet

Now I can be

Ahh, louder

Ahh, louder

Ahh, louder

Ahh, louder

Ahh, louder

Louder

Ahhh, some peace and quiet

Ahhh, the silence

Ahhh, some peace and quiet

Ahhh, the silence

Ahhhh

Some fucking silence
