I cry out to God
	and there is silence as always
My god, why have you forsaken me

so warped to spend my life believing in Silence

I cry out her name
	as if sobbing a prayer
oh that my groans could change time and space

Love born, budding, and cut down before it can flower

I cry then for mother
	there is no other to comfort me
wipe my tears as when i was a child

rescue me somehow from this hole of despair

because it seems so twisted
  to believe in this Silence
to live my life here
  as a servant of Silence
to be spurned by true Love
  for the sake of pure Silence again

so tired of my sojourn here
	as Silence's alien

and I just can't take
	any more of your Silence
rejection and heartache
	for the sake of you, Silence
I cry out to you
	and my answer is Silence again

whether or not you are there 
means much less than it did way back when

so it seems there is naught
  but to leave you here, Silence
can't believe for the sake
  of my dear mother, Silence
though she be my sweet priest
  and defend your Silence to me

when I ask you the questions
your only defender is she

so I'll set you right here
  on my shelf now deep Silence
don't be angry because
  I can't hear through the silence
can't carry you with me
  through a silent world anymore
 
please don't ask me to hang in
  cause I just can't believe anymore
