Silence and Nothingness

[Verse 1] In the shadow where we linger, "In the landscape of the unspoken", We try to express, to test our wings, "The tears of the world are a constant quantity." [Pre-Chorus] For each who begins to weep, somewhere else another stops, And so we tread, where "Nothing is more real than nothing", A dance of light, a whisper of dark, "Words are all we have." Chorus Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. In the loop of our existence, Find strength, in persistence. Verse 2 "We are all born mad, some remain so," Wandering through the echo of our days, Where every word is a fight against silence, "Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness." [Pre-Chorus] Here we stand, amid the void, "Where nothing happens, nothing has happened, nothing will happen", Yet we speak, we move, we feel, "Trying to understand, failing to understand." [Chorus] Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. In the loop of our existence, Find strength, in persistence. [Bridge] "I can't go on, I'll go on," Through the pain, the solitude, the night, "We wait. We are bored. No, don't protest, we are bored," But in our hearts, a flame, a fight. [Chorus] Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. In the loop of our existence, Find strength, in persistence. Outro "And perhaps it's the same thing that makes us write and makes us love," For what we seek is not the end, but to begin, "To find a form that accommodates the mess," Where every attempt, every fall, is a step toward better. [Big Finish]
