I bought a ticket to the symphony last night
I brought my wallet with my subway pass inside
And when I went into the underground
I didn't see the strangers all around
me
I sat there thinking
About how I never take the time of day
To say hello to the strangers
Or listen to their stories
And so in the car I peered
Beneath the ground
We passed another train
Without a sound
And I watched as it caught on fire
Silence is an explosion
Silence is an implosion
of space
Silence in an explosion
Silence is an implosion
of faith
I saw her face in the window
She caught my eye
and smiled
A stranger waved
And for a while
I smiled back
Then watched her burn
I watched the world burn before my
eyes
I bought a ticket to the symphony last night
I brought my wallet with the subway pass inside
But I didn't know
I hadn't heard
I hadn't seen
A subway burn
The way it did
Yesterday night
And when it did
I burned inside.
Silence is an explosion
Silence is an implosion
of space
Silence is an explosion
Silence is an implosion
of faith
