Seek the Silence

Words fill the ether like arrows in the sky
But what do they mean to me in a sea of lies
Street zombies crossing paths
Hollow eyed consumers
Plastic bliss at their fingertips
Looking for their fix

I hear them calling, but

I, I seek the silence
Just leave me be
I need the silence

Words from a raging war
In a maelstrom of deception
They clamp on to my feet
Like led shoes in the deep

A muffled scream in an absinthe dream
Sliding slowly backwards
I’d give my arm for a slice of peace
Where silence reigns supreme

I can’t feel my soul anymore

So I, I seek the silence
Just leave me be
I need the silence

I, I seek the silence
Leave me be
I need the silence

Words stuck within my head
Screaming to get out
They fill my days with hate
And chaos on the rise

I can’t hear my thoughts anymore

That’s why, I seek the silence
Leave me be
I need the silence
Oh I, I seek the silence
Just leave me be
I need the silence
I seek the silence
I love the silence
