Silent Assassin

 

 

Lying alone on my bed

Shedding the silent tears

Of a man whose soul

Has been bruised

I just want to be alone

For a man never cries

In the company of others

Please, on the way out

Would you turn out the lights

 

Chorus

It’s in the dark

I find my comfort

Because in the dark

No one can see my pain

And in the dark

I can’t see the silent assassin

That’s haunting me

 

Drinking on my own

Breathing the fumes

Of a plant that holds

The cure to my sorrows

I want to be alone

For I never cry

In the company of others

I guess that I might

Just might turn out the lights

 

chorus
