Nightmare of Silence

I want it to end
The stinging, the ringing
all the voices in my head
and oddly enough, they're silent

It's too quiet
I think I'm going insane
I need to do something
Something new
Something to break
this routine

I've made a rut
that I can't get out of
Please just let me
Let me anything

Something needs to change
I need to change
Let me live through this
this nightmare of silence
is bringing my thoughts down
into my rut
where they will waste away

It's driving me crazy
knowing that's where they
will end up
Slowly falling deeper
I can't stop it
I can't slow it down

They have fallen down
to my heart, down to
my stomach, past my abdomen
and into my legs
I can't walk
I can't move

Let me die here slowly
in my rut
where I have forgotten myself
