Silent

Some days I wear my own skin like a bruise.

Staring into the void.

I saw you,

the outline of your eyes

Was fading in my mind.

What a relief,

it is part of the plan,

move a little further every day

and make it look easy.

There’s an itch in my brain

I can only scratch with a pen in my hand,

but I never know

if I’m writing to you

or i’m confessing to myself.

Keep the silence near me, let it stay,

scrape those lips from the walls of my head.

Bury those eyes where i can never find them again,

keep the silence near me, let it stay.

Find something worth saying

feels harder every day.

Look around,

it’s already all been said ,

and if there’s anything left to say,

it probably came too late.

Keep the silence near me, let it stay,

scrape those lips from the walls of my head.

Bury those eyes, i don’t want to see them again.

Did you know silence has a very specific weight ?

It screams between my ears,

leaves me blind.

After i saw that part of you

with eyes I didn’t know I had.

That side of you even you can’t see,

or choose not to.

Keep the silence near me, let it stay,

scrape those lips from the walls of my head.

Bury those eyes where i can’t find them again,

keep the silence near me, let it stay.

When love costs you everything, do you still stay, or you turn away?
