Night is a breath from the chaos

No battles raging while the world sleeps

But I’m wide awake

So many things I can’t change

Am I part of the disease?

Keep thinking of the other side

The other side of silence

See the skyline at night

There is no limit

Can you see the light

Reflected in eyes like mine?

We were meant for more than this

Our path lies on the other side

The other side of silence

Am I you and are you me?

We can paint the rain

Colors only we can see

How dull the world would be

If we were all the same

Keep reachin’ for the other side

The other side of silence

As you stare into the void

There’s no need to whisper

Deep down, there is no choice

Trust your voice

Live life with conviction

Meet me on the other side

The other side of silence

Surf-thrown stones

Can build a pebble beach

A heart that’s broken

Is truly open

Be the change you wish to see

I’ll see you on the other side

The other side of silence
