Silent, I am dependent on you
Silent, I am dependent on you,
I cannot express myself or emotion;
For then I would be revealed and all would be lost.
I know not where I have learned these thoughts;
I know not whose guilt I carry (it matters little);
I carry it and now it is mine, transferred at such cost.
But there is no atonement or merit in this weight -
Each new face is now a stumbling block;
And I trod towards a destination known only to God.
I cannot express myself or emotion;
For then I would be revealed and all would be lost.
I know not where I have learned these thoughts;
I know not whose guilt I carry (it matters little);
I carry it and now it is mine, transferred at such cost.
But there is no atonement or merit in this weight -
Each new face is now a stumbling block;
And I trod towards a destination known only to God.
