In restless dreams, I hear the tone
That says I'll never be alone
I always hear it when I wake up
It always says we never will break up
When the day is done and it's time to turn out the light
And face the night
I miss the sound of silence
They say they’re searching for a cure
Ten thousand doctors, maybe more
After many years of coping
Tell me, should I just stop hoping
That someday they’ll find a way to stop the sounds I dread
And when I'm dead
I’ll hear the sound of silence
No one around me really knows
Tinnitus like a cancer grows
I remember when it would annoy me
Now I think it's trying to destroy me
Or maybe, it just wants to be my friend
Should I pretend
To like the sound of tinnitus
How many times I’ve bowed and prayed
That God would make the noises fade
But I must not let self-pity fill me
I know that this disease can’t kill me
It’s the cross I must bear, many others have to bear much worse
It is my curse
To hear the sound of tinnitus
That nails it.
Well done.
