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
