And one day hell was other people
The press of their attention
And their never-ending need
'Till every syllable was torture
Then solitude was refuge
And silence my release
Enough was too much
I made myself a wasteland
A paradise of desolation, distance and despair
There nothing could touch me
I turned into the empty
I walked away from everything and found salvation there
Nothing moves here in the wasteland
There's nothing left to see here
There's not much left to be
And every touch is temporary
Where solitude is silence
And silence misery
Hello? Hello
Is anyone receiving
I severed my connections when I left your world behind
Hello? Hello?
Each day my signal's weaker
A whisper in an empty land from the last man left alive
In this cage of silence
By words and by their absence
I am bound here
I belong here
A stillness in the tempest
The empty earth is calling me
I belong here
In this prison of silence bound
That I built with my own two hands
In a place beyond sight or sound
An invisible, voiceless land
The less I listen the less I hear
The less I look the less I see
The less I know, the less I fear
And I'm a shadow of whatever I used to be
In this cage of silence
By words and by their absence
I am bound here
I belong here
A stillness in the tempest
The empty earth is calling me
I belong here
I belong here
I belong here
I belong here
