I'm tricked by your smile

want to be forgiven

waiting for the battle

aching for belief



but your answer is wrong

and my spirit is broken

like choirs in the winter

singing out of key



I am silent

invisible to you

while I count the days gone by



I am silent

invisible to you

while I shape the things to come



I try so hard

to fight for an illusion

holding my breath

biting my tongue

I try to cope

so give me a reason

I'm waiting for help



I'm trapped by my guilt

want to be forgotten

tired of the noise

aching for relief



but your anger is gone

and my silence is golden

like fires on the water

drifting out of reach



I am silent…
