Solid Silence

May 4, 2013
Why don’t you break the silence? Say the things you have to say. Why don’t you end the quiet? In the stillness I’m wasting away. I know what you’re thinking, I see right through those deep blue eyes, You’re watching me sinking, Drowning under all your lies. You think you’re protecting me, Keeping silent, To keep the tranquility, Guarding my serenity, You’ll never know, I know we’ll never be. Why don’t you break the silence? Say the things you have to say. Why don’t you end the quiet? In the stillness I’m wasting away. I wish you would simply, Make up your troubled mind, I hate this murky place, When you’re undefined.
