Drenched In Silence
This was originally a poem by my little brother David Breidenthal. You can search it and find that my song version is a little bit similar to his poem. Enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have no capability
to cry for help
I have no energy
to save myself
Can you hear the silence
of my sad prayer?
Daddy says You’re mad at me
Are You even there?
Drenched in silence…drenched in silence
Can You hear me? Will You save me
From him?
Why do You stare at me
From high above?
Why do You laugh and jeer at me
Where is the love?
Oh, I know You hear me
Feel my despair
All the others are happy
God, it isn’t fair…
Drenched in silence…drenched in silence…
Can You hear me? Will You save me?
Ahhh….ahhh…..ahhh
Something tells me
Something tells me
You hurt no one…no one
Something tells me
Something screams to me
You hurt no one
Not him, nor her, nor He…
Just me…
Drenched in silence…drenched in silence…
I have no capability
To cry for help
I have no confidence
To find you myself
I will never believe
What he said
No one laid a hand on you
You are not dead, just—
Drenched in silence…drenched in silence
Can you hear me? Will you save me?
Can you here me? Do you fear me?
Daddy says You’re mad at me
Daddy pulls my hair
Daddy says I’m bad to You
Daddy says You’re there
Can you hear me?
Daddy says You’re mad at me
Daddy says beware
Daddy says I’m bad to you
Daddy wants me bear
Daddy says You’re mad at me
Daddy pulls my hair
Daddy says You’ll forgive me
But I don’t think you care
Drenched in silence…drenched in silence…
Can You hear me? Will you save me? (from him)
Can You hear me? Can You hear me?
Can’t You hear me? Can’t You hear me?
Can You hear me? Hear me, hear me
Hear me, hear me
Hear me, hear me
Hear me…hear me
