Lyrics for Breaking The Silence

They told me to run, but just how far? Can I go wearing the black mask of fear? The hate in my eyes always gives me away The tension building slowly Now I lost everything I had in you Nothing we shared means a thing Without you close to me I can't live without you Breaking the silence of the night Can't you hear me screaming? I look for your face in the neon light You never answer me There's no direction to my stare No more flame burning in my heart anymore Quiet, I keep it to myself Until the sun sets slowly I hear your voice in the evening rain calling Nothing will keep us apart No more lies and fear There's no end to our story Breaking the silence of the night Can't you hear me screaming? I look for your face in the neon light You never answer I could make all the wrong seem right If you were by my side I'd gather all the tears you cried And hide them deep underground Can't look back, it's just a waste of time Can't erase this hate from my eyes Breaking the silence of the night Through the streets I'm screaming Looking for you in the neon light Why don't you answer me? Breaking the silence with my cries Can't you hear me screaming? We could make all this wrong seem right But you never answer me
