Silence Speaks

"Oh," these silent tears whisper,
"Don’t forget to close the door."
And these silent tears are afraid,
"Turn out the light, and slip into the past."

Shh, it’s easier to take,
Shh, it won’t take long to numb the pain.

"It’ll be different this time," tears promise,
and, "Oh, I’ve broke the chain before."
Old habits die hard though,
And before you know it, you’re on the floor (again).

Shh, it’s much quicker this way,
Shh, straight through the blood to numb the pain.

But they’ve got you trapped, you know,
They’re laughing behind your back, "We’ve got you."
Now they’ll never let you go.
Darkness surrounds comforts and overtakes you (again).

Shh, this time it’s for keeps,
Shh, never again will you feel pain.
