The Emptiness From Which I Fled Lyrics

Michael Demartino The Emptiness From Which I Fled

Silence in shivering solitude
Obligations pressure for all to bear
All the pitiful answers, the innocent lies
Can mere words fill
The emptiness from which I fled
Be gone, oh yielding evidence of greed
Safe now in the other shore
The emptiness from which I fled
Can silence be shared
If so, can the perception of silence
Fit into the frame which is represent
The unity for which we stand
The confines representing a timeless sacrifice
No eye can of silence tell lie
Silence, yet the absence of sound
Does not feed me
The essence of beauty alone
Fall silent to lingering charm
Brought forth be the sun
Shed light on the emptiness
What can be extracted from nothing
What can be found within the emptiness
Be gone, oh yielding evidence of greed
Safe now on the other shore
The emptiness from which I fled
Brought forth be the errors of our ways
As is denial so is contempt
Introspective to all but one
Tear apart the flames
No eye can of silence tell lie
How can I even begin
The battle where no one wins
From answers I now flee
Screaming out too no avail
Have I become what for so long I've dread
The missing pieces
Must now be replaced
What eyesight fails to grasp
Is the emptiness from which I fled
