As Life Silences Us... Lyrics


"I shouldn’t have taken the wheel."

Why god?

Why does it have to be this way?

Why her? Why not me?

Why?

Underneath the silky white sheet

I make out your face

another red dot puts the end to poet’s words as life silences us.

All hope has grown wings and flown away

I am to blame

(Between the sheets and us)

Another drop falls, unnoticed in the pouring rain, as we stand paralyzed

We have no idea what we have until it’s gone

Why God? I should be in that bed. I should be picked up for this.

I should be dying, not her, oh, this is not happening!

This is all a dream

This must be a dream

But the pain is so real

Pulled down by the weight of life

She breathes no more

Under the weight of life we are

So weak and small

Pulled down by the weight of life

She breathes no more

Under the weight of life we are

So weak and small

Sit down

The doctor’s words have pushed me into trance

This pain I couldn’t bare

Leaving me with just a memory

And to wonder What could have been?

If you are here to hear the news of our unborn child

THIS WORLD IS NOTHING

WITHOUT YOU

WHY must death come so soon

It’s always too soon

There is no god, there is no fate, there is no world

Just nothingness

There is no god, there is no fate, there is no world, there’s nothing

Pulled down by the weight of life

She breathes no more

Under the weight of life we are

So weak and small

I cannot look into my eyes

And see what I’ve done

We are too weak and the flesh is frail

And torn apart …… now

We are all already dead
