▒▒▓▓▓████▌Hello, Darkness, my old friend.▐████▓▓▓▒▒

▒▒▓▓▓████▌I've come to talk with you again▐████▓▓▓▒▒

▒▒▓▓▓████▌because a vision, softly creeping▐████▓▓▓▒▒

▒▒▓▓▓████▌left it's seeds while I was sleeping.▐████▓▓▓▒▒

▒▒▓▓▓████▌And the vision that was planted in my brain▐████▓▓▓▒▒

▒▒▓▓▓████▌within the sound▐████▓▓▓▒▒

▒▒▓▓▓████▌of silence.▐████▓▓▓▒▒

▒▒▓▓▓▓█████▌In restless dreams I walked alone.▐█████▓▓▓▓▒▒▒

▒▒▒▓▓▓▓█████▌Narrow streets of cobblestone▐█████▓▓▓▓▒▒▒

▒▒▒▓▓▓▓█████▌'neath the halo of a streep lamp▐█████▓▓▓▓▒▒▒

▒▒▒▓▓▓▓█████▌and touched the sound▐█████▓▓▓▓▒▒▒

▒▒▒▓▓▓▓█████▌of silence.█████▓▓▓▓▒▒▒

▒▒▒▒▓▓▓▓▓██████▌And 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 shared▐██████▓▓▓▓▓▒▒▒▒

▒▒▒▒▓▓▓▓▓██████▌And no one dared▐██████▓▓▓▓▓▒▒▒▒
