This is where I hide my feelings, Thoughts and ideas I cannot bring in with me to broad daylight Words, the screams remaining hidden Silenced secrets, all forbidden staying out of sight Silence now Fear for judgement more than death All statements stay with ears of deaf A landfill of what I swallowed, had to shut up about On the edge I stand Of the waste land Amongst the rocks and sand (Refusal to speak, unable to breathe) All the times that I've been hushed The times that the opponents rushed to say: "Keep silent, we don't wanna hear" It is oh so quiet now The echoes occupied my mind The whispers never left or seem to disappear Words, the screams remaining hidden Silenced secrets, all forbidden Swallowed, slowly crawling back in sight (Refusal to speak, unable to breathe)
