Silver Silence

maybe I can’t shout as loud as you can


Can anybody hear me?
The sound outside is so loud
The world is on my back, pounding down my walls
The friends I thought I had, they're pushing me
xxxxxxxxxxpushing me in the wrong direction.

Can anybody hear me?
The sound inside is so loud
The thoughts I'm having, I keep changing
The guy I thought who loved me, he's pushing me
xxxxxxxxxxpushing me in the wrong direction.

Can anybody hear me?
The music is too loud
The party I'm at, I'm scared, alone in a crowded room
The noise is beating on my ears
xxxxxxxxxxmy ears that can no longer hear.

Can anybody hear me?
The screams I'm making are muted
The prays I'm praying are sent to no God
The silver silence is evident on the tape over my lips
xxxxxxxxxxmy lips, they speak no more words.

Can anybody hear me?
The air is cold, my lungs hurt when I breathe
The clothes I once wore now in shreds on the floor
The love I once had, gone and lost forever
xxxxxxxxxxlost forever, my hopes were as I lay in silence.

No one can hear me.
The silence is gone, the sound is crashing down.

No one can hear me.
I can't shout as loud as the music they dance to.

Can anybody hear me?
The silver silence is no more.
