Silence
While sitting in a quiet room
My thoughts become so loud
The voices stuck inside my head
Somehow become a crowd
There's no such thing as silence
It's something we can't find
An empty space is just a myth
The noise is in our mind
Whenever you think you're all alone
A memory is by your side
It's something we cannot control
No matter how hard we've tried
Even when we're fast asleep
A dream will share its voice
Hidden things our minds must say
And still we have no choice
Sit for just a minute or two
To see if you resist
Your mind will betray your quiet time
For silence doesn't exist
