Solace in Silence

2002 –

In the solace of the silence
Nothing is as it seems
The peace that you so eagerly seek
Reveals only ruminates of shattered dreams
The jagged shards of this broken sorrow
Radiate a pulse of bitter pain
From such agony seeps a deadly poison
Which will never be cleansed
Not by the sweetest rain

In the center of this silence
Lies nothing but the deepest despair
You plunge into the blinding darkness
Startling creatures who slumber there
Razor claws leave trails of burning fire
Dancing across your rancid flesh
As demons howl in monstrous delight
A scream of horror echoes in your ears
Come upon the deadliness of your plight

Suddenly you’re praying
Begging absolution from a god you never knew
You’d do anything for a glimpse of the sky
So heavenly bright and true
Your desperate plea cried in vain
Hope is crushed like a withered leaf
The spirit and will that lived inside
Swallowed up in a wave of endless grief
Time will pass
Wounds won’t heal
Now your only choice is
Lay down or kneel?
You ran into the silence
Seeking solace from the pain
Only to discover a wall-less prison
Bent on driving you insane

Sit alone inside the silence
And realize that you are me
Screaming on the verge of madness
For all the things I will not be
Silence is not a solace
But a torment that has no end
My heart bares such misery
It shall never mend.
