Embrace the Silence

Illusions of joy creep across my body
When all I can think of
Is how I hate it.
When all my dreams come crashing down
And I fail to see the love,
I ignore one half and dive into the darkness
Even if it's the whitest light.

If all these scars came bleeding out
A thousand tears would die.
If all these thoughts came whisking through
A year would pass me by.

Confusion descends
When I'm not honest about
The way I feel towards me.
When pretty smiles cover the lies
An extreme devours the truth.
When only pain can stop the hurt,
Look what has been accomplished.

If all these scars came bleeding out
A thousand tears would die.
And if all these words were saved for me
There'd be no reason to try.

When forces amend to the other sides
A dream will have come and gone,
But as soon as one goes,
Another will come
Bringing what lies behind the hidden.

If all these scars came bleeding out
A thousand tears would die.
And if all these thoughts were here to stay
There'd be no reason to try.
