Karaoké The Sound of Silence Puddles Pity Party

Mmm

Hello darkness, my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while

I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains within the sound of silence

In restless dreams

I walked alone

Through narrow streets of cobblestone

'Neath the halo of a streetlamp

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night and touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people maybe more

People talking without speaking

People hearing without listening

People writing songs that voices never share

No one dare disturb the sound of silence

Fools said I, you do not know silence like a cancer grows

Hear my words that

I might teach you

Take my arms that

I might reach you

But my words like silent raindrops fell

And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made

And the sign flashed out its warning

In the words that it was forming

And the sign said the words of the prophets

Are written on the subway walls and tenement halls

And whispered in the sounds
