Silence whispers in my ear
Lying alone in the dark with nothing
Only my thoughts keep me company
Twisting and turning and never ending
A silent chaos driving me crazy
As daylight breaks I begin another day
Another day lost and confused
Still plagued by those thoughts
Trapped inside my mind
Reality blurs with fantasy
As much as I fight it I welcome it
A way to forget for a moment
Forget the silence
Forget the emptiness
Forget the chaos
Forget
If only those moments lasted forever
Standing right there on the edge, just a breath away
I can't back away as the shadows call my name
In those depths the hope of release lies
Leaning over and letting go
I fall
With arms spread wide, a smile on my face
Daily I sit in this oppression
Daily I struggle with repression
Inwardly I'm crying
Wearing a plastic mask, a molded smile
Slowly, so slowly I'm dying
Standing right there on the edge, just a breath away
I can't back away as the shadows call my name
In those depths the hope of release lies
Leaning over and letting go
I fall
With arms spread wide, a smile on my face
Always hiding from the world
Always avoiding reality
Inside I'm shut off
Behind walls of fantasy, a fortress escape
Deeply, so deeply I'm sleeping
All I wish is to breathe
To breathe without the pain
All I want is to live
To live without the rage
All I desire is to love
To love without this hate
So I run, run within my mind
I run to find my way
I run away from this life
Before it consumes me
Escaping in fiction and fantasy
Escaping in ecstasy and pain
Within I feel numb
Overwhelming emotions burn, a rampant chaos
Harshly, so harshly I'm breaking
Standing right there on the edge, just a hair away
I can't back away as the shadows call my name
In those depths the hope of release lies
No more holding back, not anymore
I scream a scream to be free of it all
Leaning forward and letting go
I fall
With arms spread wide, a smile on my face
