Silhouette - I. Silence Can Be Deafening (Part I) - Edison's Children

I didn’t sign up for this

So I’m not sure what I’m supposed to say…

Silence Can Be Deafening sometimes

When you’re so far away… So Far Away…

I Fall Away

I wish I could touch you but you’re not there

Can’t feel a thing, don’t know if I even care

Every day I just need to make it through to one more day

But you’re so far away… I Fall Away… Away

Oh and I … I’ll never forget your face

You know I’m always going to need you

…to feel your warm embrace

Oh and I… I wish that I could stay

You know I’m always going to love you

…in my own special way

You look like you’re lost, come take my hand

And follow me to another land

You don’t need to spend every waking day

Running Away… From what you can’t forget

Haunted by Your Silhouette

Oh and I… I’ll never forget your face

You know I’m always gonna need you

…to feel your warm embrace

Oh and I… If only I could stay

You know I’m always going to miss you

…as much as I do today

Oh and I… I’m going to love you

…in my own special way

«'II.

Welcome To Your Dreamland"'

Welcome to your Dreamland

You’ve drifted miles away

There’s someone here waiting for you

They have something they want to say

Wake You, Make You, Take You along to a very special place

Is this what you want?

Is this why you’ve come?

Is this what you were hoping to find?

Fall Away… find your way back home

Don’t turn around, there’s no place to run

I’m afraid your comfort zone is in decline

Is this is what you want?

Is this why you’ve come?

Is this what you were expecting to find?

They’ll Wake You, Make You, Take You to a very special place

Where everything you’ve ever hoped for is laying there in waste

Such a disgrace… Going Insane.

«'III.

Where Were You?"'

Where were you when the hurricanes came?

Where were you for the Eastern rains?

Where were you?

Where were you when the winds came forth?

Where were you when the gales blew

north?

Where were you?

I’ve wanted to walk back out into the warmth of the morning sun.

It’s in my head…

Won’t you take me back to where the rivers used to run?

It’s in my head… my

head…

Where were you when the winter came south?

Where were you for the 7 year

drought?

Where were you?

Where were you when the rivers ran dry?

Where were you when the crops all died?

Where were you?

No I can’t get back… Yet I want to get back… But the cards are all stacked.

.

You know I need to get back.

It’s the only thing stopping my memory… Fade and fall!

And I can’t get back… But I want to get back… No, the cards are all stacked.

.

And I need to get back…

They’re the only things stopping my memory… Fade and fall!

(Are you out of

your tiny mind?)

Where were you when the quakes broke ground?

Where were you when the mountains

came down?

Where were You?

Where were you when the horseman rode west?

Where were you when the 4 came to

rest?

Where were you?

I’ve wanted to walk back out into the warmth of the morning sun.

It’s in my head…

Take me back to where the rivers used to run.

It’s in my head… my head… my

head…

Won’t you let me be there when it all was still so young?

It’s in my head…

«'IV.

The Longing"'

A Winter’s fire burning bright

Funny the things you long for…

Warming your soul in the night

Funny the things you long for…

Now I feel so cold aching in my bones

I just want a place to call home

And I will roam this netherworld

Until I know that you are never alone

One more chance to say goodbye

Funny the things that you long for…

One more chance to hold you tight

Funny the things you long for…

Wandering in and out of your mind

When I had to desert you

I know you feel so betrayed

I never wanted to hurt you

Even when you feel all alone, I won’t be far from home

Just close your eyes And I will be all around you…

Was I really there or just the fleeting vision from the corner of your eye?

Just a vision from your mind overwhelmed by that chill inside

A glimpse into a world completely lost in its own despair

I can’t move on from here until I know that I’m in there

Forevermore…

So when things fall from the wall

that’s just my way of making a curtain call

Ever creek in the floor, ever squeak in the door

…every noise in the hall

So when you get up at night and see a strange sort of light

It’s the way that you know

I will watch over you from The Longing…

«'V.

The Morphlux"'

Whispering in the dark — They know your name, they know what they’re after

Wandering through the park — Drawn towards this hideous laughter

Waiting to make their mark — Lurking around in all the wrong places

They were there from the start — Blending in with all the other faces

Slithering through the cracks — Something just beneath your footprints

Living under the tracks — Attracted by your tale of transgressions

What’s there behind your back?

— You never know what’s crawling behind you

Why don’t you just relax?

— That's how the Morphlux finally finds you

The light is growing dim — Now it’s time to run for shelter

They glide in very slow — Then suddenly it’s helter skelter

There’s no place left to run — The shadows begin to surround all around you

What’s that terrible sound?

— The Morphlux has taken you down…

«'VI.

I Am Haunted"'

Lost in the Woods, I can’t seem to find my way home

Into the light shining bright, I am Haunted

Banished to this Netherworld if I ignore it

Condemned to dwell on past regrets for eternity.

I’m not ready yet, just give me a little more time

I’ve wasted every moment of this legacy

I should have, I could have, I would have … but I didn’t.

And now they’ve come to take a hold of me.

«'VII.

What Did You Want?"'

What did you want?

What did you need?

You won’t get it…

A lifetime of hurt.

A lifetime of greed.

Is what you made it…

Did you feel good?

Did you stand tall?

Contemplate it…

Arrogant fraud, Behind the wheel

Think about it…

We’re in control, Tormented soul

Our Marionette…

We hold the key, To your amnesty

Eternally…

Turn back the clock.

Undo that lock

Out of your grasp…

You face yourself, Your nemesis

Recognition

«'VIII.

The Seventh Sign"'

«I.

The Wrong»

When I looked to the sky

it was from the wrong side of the rainbow

The rains had all gone

but the sun refused to shine

The forest before the trees,

burned to ash and embers

As the calm before the storm

brought turbulence to the great divide

«II.

The Acolyte»

Don’tcha want to see it?

Don’tcha want to be it?

Don’tcha want to need it?

Don’tcha want to bleed it?

Don’tcha want to heed it?

Don’tcha want to seed it?

Don’tcha want to feed it?

Don’tcha want to eat it?

«III.

The Hollows»

From miles away…

From mountains to borders

The storms would rise

Across horizons into skies

A seer’s gaze…

Looked down upon the Hollows

Only to fathom

It will never again be the same.

«IV.

The Road (Less Travelled)»

The road less traveled

Had arrived at its destination

There was no place like home

Left for us to reside

And the show that must go on

Completed it’s final performance

The darkness before the dawn

Would never give way to light…

«'IX.

The Second Coming Of The Morphlux"'

Something’s under the bed — Waiting for you to fall in slumber

They say it’s all in your head — A nightmare or some frightening thunder

Things better left unsaid — They’ll only think that you’ve gone bonkers

And soon they’ll start to spread — And soon you’ll know that you’ve been

conquered

They’ll follow you everywhere — They’re a part of all of our shadows

Complete Unaware — Revealing themselves on All Hallows

Un-Agressively well prepared — They’re just very Opportunistic

You’ll soon let down your hair — What’s next is nothing short of sadistic…

«'X.

Silence Can Be Deafening (Part II)"'

This wasn’t what I envisioned, So don’t ask me why I chose to stay

Silence Can Be Deafening Sometimes, When you’re so far away… So far away… I

fall away…

Spirited apparitions I sing a requiem… Inspired by what I myself cannot

comprehend

Shadows dart across the halls… They spin and pirouette

Enchanted by the visions, of your silhouette,.

Of your Silhouette… Of your

Silhouette…

Oh and I … I’ll never forget your face

You know I’m always gonna need you… to feel your warm embrace

Oh and I… If only I could stay… you know I’m gonna miss you…

as much as I do today

Oh and I… I’m always gonna love you

In my own special way

«'XI.

Welcome To Your Nightmares"'

Welcome back to your nightmares… I knew I would see you again

I warned you this would happen if you fell back to sleep … Close your eyes

and count to 10

Don’t turn around, there’s no place to run, I’m afraid your comfort zone is in

decline

Is this what you want, is this why you’ve come, is this what you were expecting

to find?

Fall Away… Find your way back home

They’ll wake you, make you, take you to… a very special place

Where everything you’ve hoped for… is laying there in waste

Such a disgrace

«'XII.

Music For The End Credits Of An Existence"'

«'XIII.

The Clock Strikes November"'

I can see you hiding away — wouldn’t you like a friend to talk to?

can you come out and play?

— the morphlux we just want to meet you!

I can’t go on much longer like this… I can’t let down my guard …

until the fog has cleared

Twisting deep into your conscious — you can’t flee from the inevitable

If you give us just half a chance — you’ll find we’re slightly more than

incredible

Go ahead and lock your doors — we’ve already slipped on through the crevices

The wicked was already within — there is no way to hide from the darkness

Entangled inside myself — the dusk is rising up to my estrangement

I’m becoming the morphlux — one of the shadows dancing across the pavement

I can’t seem to catch my breath — you’ll be catching something else that’s

rather vicious

If you glance at my mealy eyes — what happens next is nothing short of

masochistic.
