Silence

It's a world of pain and a moment of surrender

My mind is running wild, my body loses control

The pain is gone and I'm smiling at the feeling

I'm in control and the moment is all right

But now there is another pain and fear

My body is losing control again

I don't know what to do, who to tell

I don't even know if I want them to know

I can't do this all on my own

He's gone and it's just me right here

My mom is crying on the kitchen stool

Dad went for a drive to the store

And soon I'm driving away from home too

The building with the cross and the glass doors

They beckon me inside and I go slow

I'm afraid of what will happen today

Everyone around me is crying or coughing

I'm just shaking like a terrified puppy

My life is about to change forever and I'm not ready

But either way it's all I can do now

Everything is white except for her coat

The faded blue makes me think of stormy skies

And it's pain again and I can't stop it now

I'm losing control all over again

My life seems to be many moments of no control

Where I can't do anything but surrender

Everyone is talking at once, all three of them

And then just like that it suddenly goes quiet

No one is telling me what's going on

I don't know what's happening to me

There is no noise in the room, just looking

And I can't help but think something is wrong

Worried expressions with wordless lips, they stare

I'm shaking and I just want to cry right now

The pain is everywhere and I can't control it

Being here is going to make me mad

I'm losing control, I'm losing my mind

I have to get away from their stares

I just have to get out of here right now

I can't stay here another minute longer

The silence is killing me and driving me mad

Why won't they talk or let me go home

Is something wrong with me

It's too quiet in here and I want some noise

But no one says anything as they turn away

And I lie there still waiting for some answers

A quiet voice whispers "you can go now"

And I burst out crying as I leave the room

I make the phone call to be picked up

Everything hurts and I hate this place

I just want to go home and sleep

This silence is killing me
