In the midst of all the noise
The only sound I hear is your voice.
Were you shouting out loud,
Or did you just have me unduly bound?
What is this feeling?
Tears won't stop from falling
A melody wanting to be heard
Eons of pent up suffering unshed.
A nostalgic tune
Calling out my name
Broken promises
Unmasked weaknesses.
Echoes of darkness
Defiling kindness
The coming of age
Liberating rage.
Chains of judgment
Dragging torment
Wishful escape
Hopeless heartbreak.
Where is this going?
In circles I kept running.
An endless nightmare
Draining everything I care.
