Just for a
moment
I screamed so
loud I heard the silence
and it seemed to
know my name
It bore the
weight of voices lost
that sing to me
my name
(ch)
They sing to
ease the loneliness
that hides
beneath the skin
The endless
touch of helplessness
The pain that
seethes within
and in that
moment
I held my breath
until a vision
showed me how to
be at peace
I closed my eyes
and lost myself
until the noise
decreased
(ch)
The noise that
craved the loneliness
The noise became
my sin
The shattered
touch of silence lies
with noise that
hides within
Embraced in
silence
I didn't think I
could survive it
as I felt my
body fade
I should have
died here long ago
and oh god knows
I've tried
(ch)
I tried to erase
all the pain
I tried to quell
the fears
but the noise
that had made me whole
laid claim to
all these years
