Hello darkness, my old friend,

% ?: t4 x/ n' }$ k$ q& ABecause a vision softly creeping,
' K- O) O6 M; S% [1 Z# I! aLeft its seeds while I was sleeping,
: q3 ^1 ~4 ^8 K! m$ j, _, DAnd the vision that was planted in my brain
% h* `) c6 B! F9 l' PStill remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
3 r7 w% T3 T, D* Y$ B$ SNarrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a street lamp,
% q# }$ I# m0 q' YI turned my collar to the cold and damp
2 c9 g" B7 a! @# h, D9 SWhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
/ q/ s3 N0 u: [% o* `A neon light

. P4 Z3 G! D, e) P; ZAnd touched the sound of silence.

2 A) g# A, w$ {& x) G& [5 l' tAnd in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said i,you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
