Dead Silence - original collab with Tom Jensen (poemsbytom)

Thanks Tom for letting me use your poem and for this song's inspiration.

This is a little ditty that I've had kicking around for a little while, but I could never take it anywhere. While there are some constant themes, this song doesn't have the repetitive verse/chorus structure that lends itself to storytelling. For some reason, though, when I read Tom's poem "Dead Silence", I knew immediately that it would work with this music.

The poem is in the related links below and Tom's page can be found here:

For those familiar with Tom's collabs, please forgive the singing. I am no JD at the mic, that's for sure ;-D

Those of you following Tom's New Song Index here, please be aware that I have ~30 other originals on my page and I am still actively uploading. If you like this, you are sure to find something else you enjoy in the others.

Thank you for listening and comments are welcome.

Lyrics
--------------------------

I'm just another face
Here on the train
We fade, no names are exchanged
On the train

So close, so distant
Here on the train
No words, no words spoken
On our train

Whistle blows

On and off they flow
Dead silence all around
Empty eyes so cold
Dead silence surrounds me

Same suitcases, same routine
Nothing seems to change
Different faces, different names
Still nothing changes

Dead silence....

It's just another day
Here on the train
