Killed By Silence

Shut off from the world, silence sounds extremely loud

Surrounded by six walls, being murdered by the crowd

I try to say my words but I was suddenly put on mute

Nobody wants the truth just because the truth’s not cute

Lies and secrets make them feel great

Not even noticing the disasters they create

Yet they complain when something goes wrong

Looking for someone to blame so they can feel strong

Cornered by their deceit and promises which were never true

Praying to God is the only thing to do

Because I was searching for solutions, but I couldn’t find one

Looking for someone to listen but there was none

I look for microphones but they didn’t work

I feel like a bottle closed down by a cork

I want to explode because I’m tired of this noise

Silence sounds so irritating when I can’t hear my own voice

This makes no sense to me, yet I do not bare a frown

Until the world completely shut me down

I feel like my life was severed by a sharp knife

No decisions, no freedom I guess I barely had a life

And as I faded away my words echoed through their heads

Why is it that people only start listening when you’re dead?
