I'm tricked by your smile 

want to be forgiven 

waiting for the battle 

aching for belief 



but your answer is wrong 

and my spirit is broken 

like choirs in the winter 

singing out of key 



I am silent 

invisible to you 

while I count the days gone by 



I am silent 

invisible to you 

while I shape the things to come 



I try so hard 

to fight for an illusion 

holding my breath 

biting my tongue 

I try to cope 

so give me a reason 

I'm waiting for help 



I'm trapped by my guilt 

want to be forgotten 

tired of the noise 

aching for relief 



but your anger is gone 

and my silence is golden 

like fires on the water 

drifting out of reach 



I am silent 

invisible to you 

while I count the days gone by 



I am silent 

invisible to you 

while I shape the things to come
