Silent Shift

My words a system of defeat Try to explain what I can’t speak Absurd to share when we’re alone My face to a wall, my back to bones Where selfish pain will pull on strings How can I stand when I just sink? When will the world refuse to fade When reason permits our fear to crave? All that we love becoming stone We carve all our pain; pretend unknown A song so silent, full of death Spread through the world, ‘til nothing’s left Yet all these words will slowly turn Created from nothing, but still they yearn It’s never absurd to raise our voice And break through the noise that took our choice Reflect on all we see within Mirrored from all that can not sing Within the world, beyond all time Reflecting on truth, and the death inside And shifting silence becomes light As words spread beyond the veiled night Above the voice we now hold close Ourselves and the world become the rose
