Silence stretches

Between you and i
Its painfully quiet
The music turned on high
To drown out
The painful truth 

A fan blows hot air
A pencil scratches paper
A tear I try to hide
A feeling; a deep blow
A distance to cross
As hopeless time goes by
I know the truth,
The painful truth

Time stretches
With no way out
No way to try and change time
To stop from hearing the truth
The painful trust

As I fall 
Deeper than ever before
I know there is only two ways out

Meeting in heaven, as our wings take flight
Or hell on earth, from falling from so high
That is the truth
The painful truth.
