Sunken Silence

Sunken deep down into the dark depths, So far no light has reached this part As I swim in suspended silence, I keep fighting to survive I pray for breath Or is it death? One who is drowning has no fight left To struggle and rebel against the truth will tell, Everywhere is darkness, time is running out Life leaves the heart as silence surrounds My body no more, drowned. Awoken from sleep. Freedom from another dream To find myself on a screen Watching myself as a teen Playing a role in a familiar scene… The young boy is locked inside Rusty bars in a cell. He cries, No one can hear his pleas, denied. They lied. Against the urges he did fight So hard he did try. He tells himself lies As the sunshine hides In the Long Cold Dark Night.
