A Study of Silence

It's those who keep silent
that often would have the most to say.

words are failing me
choking me

I've so much to say
I can't even breathe,
let alone speak.

words are failing me
choking me
but I'm burying them deep
I know they can cut so very fucking deep

I can sense it rising,
the storm inside is you rising
and I know, words got consequences:
they make me tremble in fear.

words are failing me
choking me
but I'm burying them deep
I know they can cut so very fucking deep
it's killing me within
this scream I'm holding back in

The words struggle their way out,
my whole body trembling
my voice shaking
'cause I know
silence demands heavier a price.

and I've paid, and I've paid
