With You Came Silence

Two lovers, we met with the poetry in France
 We painted our life on broken glass
 Lost in the moment, it felt right this time
 ♪
 Beyond the embers of life glowin' all around us
 It was always there waiting to take me away
 Dark and unwelcoming
 Out of the blindness my hands freaked again, it's getting harder
 Tongue-tied and strung out, we learned how to pray
 Into shapes, safe in my permanent gaze
 I can't really speak to you anymore
 Her presence melts away the past
 Drifting apart like leaves on a stormy sea
 Why didn't I get the chance to try
 There came the end of all beauty in life
 She was meant to be our shelter from the madness
 I thought she would make a difference
 But Julia, she made it even worse
 I thought she would make a difference
 She made it even worse
 ♪
 I never saw the end until it came like the coldest wind
 It cracked the sky open, and I was left out in isolation
 Out of the blindness my hands freaked again, it's getting harder
 Tongue-tied and strung out, we learned how to pray
 Into shapes, safe in my permanent gaze
 I can't really speak to you anymore
 Her presence melts away the past
 Drifting apart like leaves on a stormy sea
 Why didn't I get the chance to try
 I was the dark star on our glimmering sky
 The failing father I'd never become
