Silence
I surround myself in silence
Deafening to the ear
You speak so loudly
But there is nothing I hear
You ask me to speak
Tell me to answer your question
But I am empty inside
With my lips feeling the tension
I want my voice
To be heard by you
But no matter what I say
There's nothing I can do
So I sit in silence
Ignoring while you scream
Pretending I don't hear you
Drifting off into a daydream
Silence is the most powerful scream
And I seem to have mastered the skill
Of keeping quiet, oh, too quiet
While you continue to shrill
I feel no anger
And I am not to blame
But I have to ignore you
When your heart ignites into flames
It is best I keep my silence
It is best I bite my tongue
My lips were sealed with super glue
When the words you spit out stung
I cannot speak up for myself
My throat closes up too tight
You say my name repeatedly
And ask me why I won't fight
But my heart has given up
My mind knows I cannot win
So why bother even trying
When I wouldn't know where to begin
Silence is the most powerful scream
It's all I can do to keep out of your scheme
Trapped in here, in such a tight space
I can never seem to find a way out of this place
Silence is the most powerful scream
It upsets you more than anything extreme
And my lips are sealed.
