Avalanches

I don't dare to scream

I'm afraid of avalanches

Afraid to be dragged down

Afraid of the consequences

I don't dare to walk

They said it could be thunder

And rain and hail and lightning

For a little boy that's frightening

So many words exploding in my chest

Captured, tortured and in arrest

Had to bury them

Burning on my tongue like a bitter pill

I'm not getting better, I'm getting ill

Silence silence silence

Silence silence silence

I don't dare to swim

The sea is full of maelstroms

Afraid to drown

Can't breathe under water

I don't even dare to speak

Or raise my head up

They have guillotines

To produce silence again

So many words exploding in my chest

Captured tortured and in arrest

Had to bury past

Bruning on my tongue like a bitter pill

I'm not getting better, I'm getting ill

Silence silence silence

Silence silence silence silence silence

So many words exploding in my chest

Captured, tortured and in arrest

Had to bury them

Burning on my tongue like a bitter pill

I'm not getting better, I'm getting ill
