How calm was the riot

Heated to silence 
Cold in violence 
I wish i could not dream
I plan not to sceam
I heard they were quiet
How calm was the riot 
To claim victory in nothing 
To hold on to while you are wanting 
Its best could have been worst
I died drowning in what i thirst 
Redeemed by my guilt
I stand on how i wilt
If i could hear what i see
I may believe that I'm free
