Silence
Silence rolls over these streets
and lies thick in my surroundings
The still here is comforting, yet eerie
Light has abandoned me and chose to
hide away as both work together
to cause me great worry

The images I see behind closed
eyes can not be told to those
awake in the breeze
The visions I witness that are
so vivid in my head could never
be described to those reading
at a park bench

I hear them in my mind, the sirens are telling
me that something is currently going wrong
They're blaring in my head and all I want
is for their warning to quiet and rest
The wish I want now is to be able to forget

What's out there that causes such a
screeching in my ears? How is it that
you can stand here and just smile at me
when that noise won't stop ringing?
How can look to be so at peace and while
I'm asking, how did you even come to be
here in this closed cocoon of midnight?
I would be better off alone so could
you do me a favor and depart on your own?

The nightmares of both imagination
and reality are ones that I never
want to one day be made true
I want to leave because I no longer
feel as though this are is welcoming
I take a move and it's there by my side
always silent, suspicious and smiling
It gets louder, the closer you are but
I can do little else but hold my head in my palms
I'd love to run and just leave this whole place
behind me but I don't know how to escape my mind

I hear them in my mind, the sirens are telling
me that something is currently going wrong
They're blaring in my head and all I want
is for their warning to quiet and rest
The wish I want now is to be able to forget
I hear them in my mind, the sirens are telling
me that something is currently going wrong
They're blaring in my head and all I want
is for their warning to quiet and rest
The wish I want now is to be able to forget
