Better To Be Alone In Silence Than Laughing With the Wicked

I've been dishonest with myself
I've slashed off the pain
I've masked the hurt 
I've lost I've gained

The silence got louder
the wicked threw up
I've seen my Future
I'm not happy enough

Better to be silent
then laugh with the wicked
better to be quiet
then loud and proud

 I've seen the devil 
I've seen the light 
through the dark
I've seen the purest heart
forget me not.

Better to be along in silence
then laugh with the wicked.
