And in the naked light I saw
10,000 people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence, like a cancer, grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
YOU GUYS... THIS IS NOT APPLICABLE TO EVERYTHING. If someone dies, you have to tell them. It may be painful but it's better for them to know as soon as possible.
