Silent Message


Shut up!

Restrain the filth that passes your lips

Those unnatural, unrestricted syllables

Spicy to the taste

Yet described as cold when spoken

 

Noises in my head

Speaking in tongue I’m too afraid to comprehend

Stinging my brain with those horrid phrases

Reducing my mind to complex mazes

 

Shut up I say

Go away and leave me with silence

I anticipate it

This being called silence

 

It’s near yet far

Can you not hear its silent shouts

The soft footsteps on your soul

It’s Sileme coming out

 

This silent message

That you might not understand

May soon make your world quiet

And your heart stop in silence

 

So catch it before it

SNAPS!

 

Silence will rock your world

Quieting the mighty

And shutting down the weak

 

Sileme, Sileme

Chanted like the name of a most high being

Yet treated like a crazed demon

 

Smacking the ground

Until everything dies in silence

This complexed being you may think you know

Is only a image

Of an undone, totally fucked puzzle

 

You look so confused

By what you can’t define

So let me take it back

An instant rewind

 

To the time

You were so blind

And your mind

Couldn’t stop focusing on my rhyme

Still thinking you’re a penny

When you know you’re a dime

Cause this is the time

When your light will shine

So stop bullshitting

And I’ll stop this rewind

 

You try so hard to see

But you are blinded

You try so hard to rock

But just be quiet

You have nothing to say

You’re condemned to silence

 

Ha-ha

I see you now can catch it

For I am Sileme

And this was

Your

Silent
