Screams In Silence
Games have all been played
Come out of hiding
No more chasing after
Don’t following the leader
It’s easy to find what’s fun
Harder to find what’s right
Caught up in your laughter
So cleverly projected
Projected over screams
Million smiles shine so bright
But never touched your eyes
Strip everything away
If that’s what it takes
I won’t let you fall
Won’t let you break
You think you’re living it up
But you’re just falling from grace
Will these games ever end
Or have I lost my friend
It’s easy to find what’s fun
Harder to find what’s right
Caught up in your laughter
So cleverly projected
Projected over screams
It’s like time is standing still
Without will, frozen in place
So sick of feeling helpless
Dreaming in black and grays
The clouds are over our head
Only rubble beneath our feet
Refection in the mirror telling lies
You weren’t ever alone
You were never on your own
Said all I’ve had to say
You’re no longer here anyway
Take a little piece of me with you
When you wake into eternity
Now I'm left behind in this world
The silence is deafening, deafening
