• Silent but spoken
    Heavy in the air
    A pause, dying breath
    I can't be here

    So much air, no breath
    Fear that we bare
    Turn around, run away
    No proof that I care

    Passing jokes, strained smiles
    You won't see me break
    Lies spat out, tight and neat
    I feed this ache

    Quiet terror, liquid dread
    Please don't die
    I can't hope, I can't speak
    I can't even cry

    Sad, stupid strength
    I won't share this pain
    All alone, stubborn fools
    We are all the same
