Shedding My Skin

Listen! The silence of my heart is deafening Loudly beckoning the end of days I want relief from the storm Or at least a glance of the sun's rays The waves are overcoming me, drowning me in the pool I try to hold my breath and push back above But the pressure is too much and I am the fool Who thought that I was capable of an emotion like love Sitting in silence, listening to the pain inside I finally begin to understand the hidden truth buried My mask has been unveiled to no longer hide That everybody can now see the torture I have carried For so many arduous years The despicable sins I have committed Is measured by the amount of tears others have cried and the truths I have omitted Are now rolling off of my tongue so easily I only wish I could have done this sooner The way I am now, set free and clear I have found the harbor and docked my ship here
