The Sound Of Silence

by Christina McDowell   Feb 26, 2007


I just can't seem to hear
Any type of sound
I can only see my fear
And how I'm falling down

I need to stand up
Even after I fell
Enough is enough
But I can't seem to yell

My body falls to the floor
I've lost my heartbeat
I'm not quite alive anymore
I'm in sadness and defeat

Listen to the sound of silence
You could have never heard my scream
Everyone notices my absence
But I'm lost like a dream

All my cries of help
Were never heard
The screams of silence
Weren't ever heard

Cover my ears
So I can't listen
Here come my fears
Then shine and glisten

This cannot be real
The silence cannot be true
I don't want to feel
All that pain from you

I'll just take a breath
And slowly calm down
Even after my death
I won't be able to hear any sound

My silent cry
My silent scream
Time to say goodbye
To this dreadful dream

Your voice still rings
Over and over again
That is one thing
That needs to end

The silence remains
But the scream continues
It creates more pain
And brings back the blues

I'm so afraid of being alone
I'm my little fear
My heart pounds when the phone
Rings if I can hear

Everything is coming back
Over and over in my head
It's not what I lack
But it's what I dread

I don't need to know
I don't want to hear
I just want to let go
Of my gruesome fear...
