Soiled

The pain, the sorrow, the violence within
Will never quench the thirst

Bewildered, in dismay
The silence ounce golden now lays across the floor
The silence ounce golden now lays soiled in disgrace

You call this seeking the light
You call this searching for god
I call this the bleakness
Searching within the emptiness

Submerged, the earth has shattered
All around, all around
Nothing is left to be felt to be seen

Overwhelmed how could this happen to me
Up and down, round and round
Nothing is as it used to seem

Erase this vision from my eyes
There is a silence beneath the screams
An inner peace you say
I have found myself
Soiled in disgrace
