Sounds of Silence
In the delicate sounds of silence
there are thoughts within my head,
emotions that are hard to reach
and words that can't be said.

Mute to all that pass me by
they can not see the pain,
the crushing of the silence
are the sounds that keep me sane.

And every day I walk the path
with silence at my side,
I grasp for words that tell the tale
no one will I confide.
My heart is filled with secrets
to the silence I will send,
deep into the chambers
till I find a loving friend.

This life has been a lesson
and it's helped me build a wall,
as long as there is silence
this fortress will not fall.

I search to find the answer
but it's locked within my head,
the key I lack, it seems is trust
and the words are never said.

Now maybe I have stumbled
and my broken heart will mend,
is it time to break the silence
are you indeed my friend?
