Maddening Silence


Stranded on an island all alone,

No company or friends to call my own

Just sitting in the quiet

Trying just to fight it

But madness comes and goes

In silence.

I need some noise, a song, a sound.

Just try my best to stick to ground.

I can't think straight when things are hushed

My mind goes wild, thoughts are rushed

Madness comes and madness goes

But in the silence no one knows

So the point is, I need some sound

A way to break the quiet all around

Because otherwise I might go mad

Just sitting in the silence.
