"Breaking the Silence"
They told me to run*but just how far.*Can I go wearing the black mask
of fear?*The hate in my eyes always gives me away,*the tension building
slowly,*now I've lost everything I had in you.*Nothing we shared means
a thing,*without you close to me.*I can't live without you.*Breaking the
silence of the night,*can't you hear me screaming?*I look for your face
in the neon light,*you never answer me.*There's no direction to my stare.*No
more flame burning in my heart anymore.*Quiet, I keep it to myself,*until
the sun sets slowly.*I hear your voice in the evening rain calling*nothing
will keep us apart,*no more lies and fear.*There's no end to our story.*Breaking
the silence of the night,*can't you hear me screaming?*I look for your
face in the neon light,*you never answer.*I could make all the wrong seem
right,*if you were by my side.*I'd gather all the tears you cried,*and
hide them deep underground.*Can't look back, it's just a waste of time.*Can't
erase this hate from my eyes.*Breaking the silence of the night,*Through
the streets I'm screaming?*Looking for your face in the neon light,*Why
don't you answer me.*Breaking the silence with my cries,*can't you hear
me screaming?*We could make all the wrong seem right,*but you never answer
me.
(voice: We know you did it.
myriad of voices, repeatedly: Why'd you do it?
Nikki, screaming: No, no, nooooooooooooooooooo!)
Mary's death has sent Nikki over the edge.
He laments her loss, knowing they'll never be together again. He
runs out of the church, screaming into the night. He seems to expect
Mary to answer his cries, still denying that she is really dead.
Of course, this attracts attention to him. His hands are likely bloody,
so he already appears suspicious. It's only a matter of time before
someone finds Mary dead and connects Nikki to it. Nikki realizes
that he is caught, believed to be a murderer, and that X has gotten away.
This song serves to open the door to the sense of
devestation Nikki feels after his ghastly finding.
