I leave as I enter

another boy caught in-between

now all I can muster

are whispers to your screams

don't you remember

how you eased my disgrace

don't you remember

the love you saw in my face



perfected in silence

a physical presence

perfected in silence

a physical presence



I sought affection

but now I realize

a cold rejection

the movement in your eyes

but I can remember

when you shook against me

I can remember

when I saw what love could be



perfected in silence

a physical presence

perfected in silence

a physical presence



ain't what she did

it's the way that she did it

when I couldn't give

only she could forgive it

ain't what she did

it's the way that she did it

as long as I live

it's for me to re-live it . . .

silence . . .



part of the answer

is that there's really no escape

part of the answer

is that life can have such perfect shape

don't you remember

all the nights you shared in my disgrace

don't you remember

that the love that filled this empty space was . . .



. . . perfected in silence

a physical presence

perfected in silence

a physical presence
