Hello darkness [D] my old friend,
I'm here to talk with [Em] you again.
[G] Because the visions of me creeping
Lifted seas of my [C] wife [G] sleeping
And the [C] vision that has planted in my brain
Still weeping,
[Em] we will [Am] miss [A] her
[Em] I'm sorry
In the winter [D] night
Rare old streets of cobblestone
[G] Meet the view of an eastern land
But to walk over to the [C] cold and damp
Our eyes were stabbed by the flesh of an eonlight
It's been denied
[Em]
It takes [D] the sands of [Em] the south
And the naked eyes [D] of the north
Ten thousand people need him more
[G] People talking with their [G] speaking
People reeling with their sleeping
The rapping of [C] songs
Their voices never shared
And no one named
[Em] Disturbed [D] the sound Of [Em] singing
For somehow you do [D] not know
Silence like a cancer [Em]
grows
[G] In my words that I might teach you
Take my answer that I [C] might [G] reach you
But my words like silence bring chaos down
The [Em]
cold [D] and the wells [Em] of silence
The dawn [D] of the year
To the neon god they [Em] made
The [G] sun rose blue [C] this [G] morning
In the words that it was forming
And the sun said the words of the prophet Jeremiah
On the subway [G]
walls
And in it all
[Em] Say [D]
you [Em] are silent
I'm here to talk with [Em] you again.
[G] Because the visions of me creeping
Lifted seas of my [C] wife [G] sleeping
And the [C] vision that has planted in my brain
Still weeping,
[Em] we will [Am] miss [A] her
[Em] I'm sorry
In the winter [D] night
Rare old streets of cobblestone
[G] Meet the view of an eastern land
But to walk over to the [C] cold and damp
Our eyes were stabbed by the flesh of an eonlight
It's been denied
[Em]
It takes [D] the sands of [Em] the south
And the naked eyes [D] of the north
Ten thousand people need him more
[G] People talking with their [G] speaking
People reeling with their sleeping
The rapping of [C] songs
Their voices never shared
And no one named
[Em] Disturbed [D] the sound Of [Em] singing
For somehow you do [D] not know
Silence like a cancer [Em]
grows
[G] In my words that I might teach you
Take my answer that I [C] might [G] reach you
