Silent Chain

Fading shadows on the wall Quiet room, I hear it all Crowd closes in, lights too bright Pulse racing through the endless night Smiles pass by like distant stars I build my walls, hide my scars Words tangle up before they start Start, heart, seed, stay apart Oh, this ache that pulls me under Social waves, I drown in thunder Want to fade, just slip away Into dreams where I can't I can stay, anxiety my silent chain Holding back the pouring rain Laughter's noise, sharp and near Feet frozen, gripped by fear Empire could blur in swirling haze Lost in thought, lost in fear These lonely days reach for calm But hands shake free yearning for what can't be me Oh, this ache that pulls me under Social waves, I drown in thunder Want to fade, just slip away Into dreams where I can't stay Anxiety my silent chain Holding back the pouring rain One deep breath, the world's too loud Dream of quiet, soft and proud Maybe some daylight will break through the storm For my own sake Oh, this ache that pulls me under Social waves, I drown in thunder Want to fade, just slip away Into dreams where I can't stay Anxiety my silent chain Holding back the pouring rain Oh, this ache that pulls me under Into dreams where I can't stay Oh, this ache that pulls me under Social waves, I drown in thunder Anxiety my silent chain Social waves, I drown in thunder Want to fade, just slip away Into dreams where I can't stay Anxiety my silent chain Into dreams where I can't stay Anxiety my silent chain Into dreams where I can't stay Anxiety my silent chain Holding back the pouring rain Want to fade, just slip away Anxiety my silent chain Holding back the pouring rain Anxiety my silent chain Want to fade, just slip away
