silence
We had that silence
That u look at me and its final
Giving me that shake in my spinal
Cord,, without using your vocal chords
Just sight, no words like
Ssh, don't tel no body what we did last night.
you stand there with fists clenched
Eyes red, face turning a shade of green
I look to the floor, play with my fingers
There"s always a bit of flesh out of place.
I cant take the silent gaze, say something! Anything!!
& just as i expect you try to shoot me down with words
Killing me silently, there goes the piece of me
I built this week, then your hand against my cheek.
Tell me a different story tonight
Please don't compare me to my mother
Cause to you she is just another-useless thing
Ssshh, that hospital silence
Like walking into a ward
With a dead patient on the bed
U know u have to b silent
No words, just sight.
We had that silence
That u look at me and its final
Silence....
That u look at me and its final
Giving me that shake in my spinal
Cord,, without using your vocal chords
Just sight, no words like
Ssh, don't tel no body what we did last night.
