Speak in silence

to calm my mind

Avert the step

that leaves me blind

You lack the face

that shows compassion

Acting on

untrained reactions

 

(ch)

I hear you

I feel you

taking over another part of me

I see you

and fear you

waking up the demons inside me

 

I held your secrets

I took your hand

Expected nothing (which was)

just as well and

trading parties

with warring minds

couldn't help you past

to see the signs

 

(bridge)

Keep your voice down

Keep the noise down

Don't disturb me when I'm screaming

Keep your voice down

There's too much noise now

It interferes with rational thinking

 

Bled in darkness

Scarred in mind

A product of

the most unkind

the most unwanted

the most maligned

Forgotten here

and left behind
