"The Silence" lyrics

Behold the incredible shrinking woman, wow
She looked like me but she shrank her spirit down
To make room for the thoughts you filled with doubt
And when you were finally gone, I couldn't drown 'em out

Your constant voice
Echoed in my head and told me why
I should be someone else instead
And every night I cried
Listening to your lies inside my mind
Went blind, but now I see
And sex is good but have you ever tried

Ahhh, the silence
Ahhh, some peace and quiet
Ahhh, the silence
Ahhh, some peace and quiet

Behold the marvelous absence of your face
That once held me as a hostage for my mistakes
Forgot the feel of a quiet love's embrace
There's no beauty like the beauty of empty space

Your constant voice
Echoed in my head and told me why
I should be someone else instead
And every night I cried
Listening to your lies inside my mind
Went blind, but now I see
And sex is good but have you ever tried

Ahhh, the silence
Ahhh, some peace and quiet
Ahhh, the silence
Ahhh, some peace and quiet

Shh, quiet
Shh, quiet
Shh, quiet
Shh, quiet
Shh, quiet
Shh, quiet
Now I can be
Ahh, louder
Ahh, louder
Ahh, louder
Ahh, louder
Ahh, louder
Louder

Ahhh, some peace and quiet
Ahhh, the silence
Ahhh, some peace and quiet
Ahhh, the silence
Ahhhh
Some fucking silence
