Silence (Usagi, Geist collaboration 2)

Lyrics by Geist, read by Usagi. Piano by Trent Reznor.

Depressed is still pending, the file lost somewhere in a shuffle of failing computers.

Silence.
There is no such thing on earth.
Technically,
sound is everywhere.
Everything can be picked up if you sit in one place long enough.
And even if you can't really hear it,
you can begin to process it.

I heard dying people.
I heard disease. I heard
poverty and ignorance and love and passion and hate and apathy.
I heard the world that I sealed myself away from.

The smartest men are the ones in the asylums.
