Silence (I'M Sorry)
Silence
Hobbes
A hundred voices run through my head,
As I sit by and prey for them to stop.
I'm loosing my mind,
Loosing my sight,
Loosing control.
There's a monster within me fighting for release,
A monster I myself have created,
He will hurt me.
Hurt my friends,
Hurt everyone.
And all I ask is for silence.
My mind is clouded by darkness,
These things I am feeling hurt so much.
Sin of envy,
Sin of greed,
Sins I fear.
How do I stop something so deep inside?
The pain has taken root into my heart.
And now I fall,
And now I cry,
These salty tears.
And all I wish for is silence.
I've hurt those I love without thought,
And my friends try but I push them away.
It breaks my heart,
It breaks me down,
I'm broken up.
I wish you could see through my burning eyes,
To the truth that resides inside my core.
Inside my soul,
There hides the truth,
In tattered shards.
And all I prey for is silence.
My heart bleeds as I ask for Forgiveness,
For the atrocious sin I've committed against you.
Against a friend,
A friend so dear,
Dear to my heart.
And now I'm beating myself up
Over this friend who deserves no such fate.
You are so kind,
I am a fool,
And now I cry,
And all I beg for is silence.
I'm glad that you don't know my pain,
That you have been wrapped in love's sweet embrace.
I'm here for you,
To help you through,
For helping me.
The voices are quiet when I hear you speak,
And my heart finally seems to be at peace.
You mend my heart,
You heal my soul,
You're always there.
One voice amidst utter silence,
And I'm glad it's yours.
