Album: Human Conditions

Science of Silence Lyrics

We are on a rock, spinning silently

But I'm safe when you're here with me

These questions I'm asking, they've been haunting me

I need some security, can't you see?

Her love was like a fountain rushing and pouring down

The darkness is putting out the light in me

She's a well to be dug, she's a university

A cosmic library - wait and see

We are on a rock, spinning silently

Won't you get close to me

We are on a rock, spinning in infinity

Won't you get close to me

Is it my genes that have made me?

Is it the things I took, is it the things I said

Does karma rule?

Well if there's a God well can you hear me now?

I am crying out, hoping you know

And in my baby's arms I need no faith

I need no words to define myself

And when I'm holding you, light rushing through

I wanna make it now, safe and straight

We are on a rock, spinning silently

Baby get a hold of me

We are on a rock, spinning in infinity

Baby consoling me

Oh I don't know when the fear's going to end

I don't know if my prayers are received - the ones I send

(We are on a rock, spinning silently)

I can't live in pain and fear

(We are on a rock, spinning in infinity)

Oh I see so much joy and it makes me scared

(We are on a rock, spinning silently)

Oh I don't know if my prayers are received, until the end

(We are on a rock, spinning in infinity)

Oh I guess it ain't offet for you to pray for peace

Oh baby I don't know where I'm going

All I know is that I need you as a friend
