Standing on the shore Waiting for the ship in call There's something in the way I move that keeps them on their own The stars explodes a storm A billion seasons born A shock to the waves I know, breaking far from shore Don't want to talk All I hear is noise Don't want to talk The future's in my hands I hold it in my palms Engrave it the leylines running right down her arms Speak in silent tongues Lies reflect the times The ghosts and the shadows fill the living scene Don't want to talk All I hear is noise Don't want to talk
