You feel it approaching
Don't let it out
People are watching
Please don't come now
The lump begins to rise
Tell it to go back down
Lips start to tremble
Be brave, be strong
Hands shake uncontrollably
Stop it, clench your fists
Eyes begin to water, like mist
Somebody sees you
Crap. Turn away
He approaches you
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
He might begin to notice
So suck it up quick
You've had enough
Run away, swiftly
He'll lose interest, surely
Ironically, he follows
Keep running
Don't let it out, don't let it out
It's gonna fall
No, you'll ruin it all
The brick wall is gonna crash
The one built to keep you away
It'l
You may say silence is silent
But I believe otherwise
Things you might call "sounds"
Simply pause your mind
Silence is loud, deafening
Thoughts go through my mind, running
Voices in my head, memories from the past
Makes me want the silence to end now, fast
Memories of fighting, yelling, screaming
How much I wish I was only dreaming
Silence is louder these past couple years
It's gotten to be worse, even when I cover my ears
So when I feel the silence approaching
Memories pasted in my mind like a collage
I reach for my ipod and put the headphones on
I press "play" and put my mind on pause
