Killed By Silence

Shut off from the world, silence sounds extremely loud Surrounded by six walls, being murdered by the crowd I try to say my words but I was suddenly put on mute Nobody wants the truth just because the truth’s not cute Lies and secrets make them feel great Not even noticing the disasters they create Yet they complain when something goes wrong Looking for someone to blame so they can feel strong Cornered by their deceit and promises which were never true Praying to God is the only thing to do Because I was searching for solutions, but I couldn’t find one Looking for someone to listen but there was none I look for microphones but they didn’t work I feel like a bottle closed down by a cork I want to explode because I’m tired of this noise Silence sounds so irritating when I can’t hear my own voice This makes no sense to me, yet I do not bare a frown Until the world completely shut me down I feel like my life was severed by a sharp knife No decisions, no freedom I guess I barely had a life And as I faded away my words echoed through their heads Why is it that people only start listening when you’re dead?
