flashbang

i've stopped list'ning to the silence
and so it's hard to hear the song,
like the brightest flash of blindness
after a darkness far too long.

and so it's hard to hear the song
now that my muse has found her voice.
after a darkness far too long
these pale and wraith-like words rejoice.

now that my muse has found her voice
(like the brightest flash of blindness),
these pale and wraith-like words rejoice.
i've stopped list'ning to the silence.
