Coffee and cigarettes
Conversations to places unknown
As I sit here across a table of shadows
My thoughts are not my own

Carefully we commence
Whirlwinds of lyric, music, rhythm, and rhyme
Words painting in delicate pictures
Of devils and divine

My friend
Welcome to the Shadow Masquerade
Lay down all your troubles and charades
And join in the lyrical parade

One more time, You give way to the world above
More wine, Call out when you've had enough
One more chance, The words are just beginning to fall
Sweet romance, I cry out to you all

Don't back down
Don't reveal you hand
So predictable

So lay it down
So indelicate and intelligent rhyme
So unusual and beautifully mine
So impossible and hauntingly sublime

Carefully we begin

Masquerade (Acoustic EP)

The Silent Still, has positioned themselves as the public face of The Silent Still Society in the digital age. They paint a tapestry of creativity that has been compared to if Tool, 30 Seconds to Mars, Chevelle, and Nine Inch Nails were crossed with Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, and Neil Gaiman in a Neo-Victorian World. They have successfully embodied in music, art, and storytelling, The Silent Still Society’s rich history of creative expression and helping people break free from their personal Hells and live to their full potential, from the Society’s amazing stories, to their work in creative expression and personal growth.

From live performances and events, to music, literature, art, film, and more, The Silent Still has set themselves apart as an entire mysterious universe to be explore and enjoyed.

Yesterday
© the silent still
As I sit here at your broken memory and my spirit weeps
Remembering the faces in the clouds
that was yesterday, and now it's today
I remember how you smiled
how you danced, how you laughed, how you sang, how you lived
Now your fortresses lie on the ground
And your memory, forever it will stay
And the birds, they are falling
As the glass falls like rain
And the tears, they are flowing
like a river of pain
I remember yesterday
I remember just yesterday
the smile on my face as I watched you walk away
And never to expect that that smile would turn to tears
as I watched the planes and my heart fell as it crumbled
Somehow I watched the world fade away
with the screams of the innocent, the whole world in silence
as you became yesterday's rain
In these tears, I try to make sense
And the birds, they are falling
As the glass falls like rain
And the tears, they are flowing
like a river of pain
I remember yesterday
And I wonder if the faces of the ones who did this to you will ever know the pain of these tears of this rain
Will they ever know the fear of watching loved ones fade away
Will they ever fear the sun, can you tell me will they
ever face the guilt of all the words of love we left unsaid
Will the world ever stop just to remember their dead
Will they ever know the pain of the blood that they shed
And will they ever see the hole left where our loved ones bled
I'll never forget you
No you'll never be forgotten


Remembering 9-11, Yesterday

Hiding Inside

I can’t speak
It’s taken over another part of me
And I can’t dream
Growing from inside, it screams, “I’m free”

I have something I want to show you
Come a little closer, let me whisper

This thing that hides inside of me
It wants to hide inside of you

You fall through
Don’t know what you’ve gotten into
Lies to sedate
Something from inside awakes; It waits

You can wear your crown
When everything’s astray
Let us carry you away
You can wear your crown
Together in array
Hold on
Make way

The Retribution of Artiface

Walk on down that road
I have paved for you
And the sweet notion that you’ll find your own way

Did you think we wouldn’t find you out
All the times that you were sewing doubt
All your sins will find you
And you’ll find yourself without

Damn your circumstance
And your deception romance
I will

To your everything
And to all the lies you bring
I will…

I will not entertain your lies
The fabrications you devise
I will not surrender to your cries

Effervescent face
As our friendship you disgrace
Such skill

Betray everything
Smiling all the time you sting
Such skill

Remove your thumb
Look what you’ve become
Your time has come

Fade

Some would call it happy
But everyday I look upon the broken dreams
Faces of a silent scream

Out of tune symphony
Scattered pieces spread into the faceless names
Your touch, it only causes pain

Would you wait for me
Even if I crumbled inside your mind
Would you wait for me
Even though I crumble inside, I’ll try

And I know it’s not the same
When I try to carry you, you carry me away
And I know you’re just a name
But I know that you are a part of me the same

I remember laughing
Singing, dancing, safe within your arms it seemed
Together made the stuff of dreams

But am I only dreaming
Or will it be the same when you are here again
Thousands become one, my friend

All my friends fade into one

***Based on Dr. Majid Naini's translation of Rumi's "I Am Not"***
I rid of duality in myself
And I saw both worlds as one

I only seek one
Call one
Know one
And ask for one

If, in my life, I would spend a breath without you
From that day and that moment of my life I am regretful
I am regretful

I am drunken with the wine of love!
Both worlds have fallen out of my hands
Except drunkenness and jubilation I know nothing else

If one day I get a private moment with you,
I would put both worlds under my feet,
And I would dance with all of my being
