The Waste Land

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

CHORUS;

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

CHORUS

(Refusal to speak, unable to breathe)
