Can't Face The Silence

Can't Face The Silence
 

Silence is deafening,

When it's all that's left to take in;

I know this to be true.

Insanity and paranoia breed,

As the walls move closer and closer in;

I can't look at the face of silence again.

I can understand why TV and Radio,

Become surrogate family to some people,

I've been there too.

Time to kill, but you can never murder it,

Like a cartoon character that no matter what the odds or peril,

Stands up straight, dusts itself off and comes right back at you.

Constructing a skyscraper with building blocks of fear,

The tide always comes in for me every day, just deep enough to drown me.

My head is an aerial only picking up the screams of silence,

Someone else is living life to the full;

But that's not what I want to know.
