| To the Silence |
| Shards of broken glass Arranged in a halo around my head Brief flashes of electricity Still coursing through my mind Last sound I heard still echoing on Now I can't remember anything at all One bad mistake and here I am Words that you speak, I can't understand Blank eyes staring out, nobody's home If I could think, here's what I'd say Please just let me die Oh, I cry Please just let me die As I try To remember any part of my life I cry, night after night To the silence I can see, yet I'm still blind I can hear, but I can't respond I can't move my arms or legs I can't communicate One last drink and here I am Is this the fate of this broken man? Taste of alcohol still burns on my tongue Why did this happen to one so young? And I cry Please just let me die Oh, I cry Please just let me die As I try To remember any part of my life I cry, night after night To the silence Strapped in my chair Wipe the spittle from my chin Single tear on my cheek From my brief flash of memory The screech of tires in the background noise Lost and alone, forever And I cry Please just let me die Oh, I cry Please just let me die As I try To remember any part of my life I cry, night after night To the silence I cry Please just let me die I cry As lightning crashes in the sky I try To find that bright white light As I cry, night after night To the silence |
