Silence Found

Distinguish my words from my mind Better to sit silent inside Because to linger on what I will say Can destroy or create a lie I never found the strength to reply I grow powerless as I try You’ll just never see who I am I’m the part that we all deny Chaos, mirrors, borrowed time A static envoy with just a rhyme You’ll just never see who I am Try as I might, I’m just your lie Empathy shortens our lives Even more so to realise That we worship a sound lost at sea And, in our yearning, the sound has died Searching, waving, painting skies Dismissing every shade of night The stars we count have turned to loss The darkness weaved has closed our eyes Wordless, empty, I’ve found my mind Silence expresses the things I find Truth is all I ever was Better to fade than to be your lie
