Silence, is such a fearful sound
Someone pull me, from this metal box
Far above the atmosphere
I’m looking down to where the oceans never sleep
They never sleep
Electric storms and solar flares
Flashing through my dreams
This waking nightmare
In the wakefulness of the ocean
There’s a medicine
For the spirit
That cannot rest
I’m waiting for the tidal wave
Close your eyes
Let the whirlpool, take you under
Close your eyes
Can you see the colours burn
Close your eyes
I’ll Take you…..
How long can I keep awake
Across this endless silence
And all these meteor showers
All this time, this precious time
Spinning through the vortex
Carried on the tide
The spiral of the whirlpool, is closing in
Let me carry you…..
Close your eyes
Let the whirlpool, drag you under
Close your eyes
Can you see the colours burn
Close your eyes
I’ll take you…..
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
