Screams Turn to Silence

I watched the walls collapse

Beneath a hollow shell of lies

Worn paper-thin and stained in black, fell beneath the fading light

The shards that penetrate

The thickest of my skin

I feel the sting it separates, drains my body of its sin

The darkness that grows inside, like a cancer that's feeding

Reflected behind her eyes

As screams turn to silence

The sound is deafening

The hollow voices of regret

Held like the damned under the flames

Burned against the endless night

The pain that suffocates

A prayer escapes my lips

Force fed the lies, I'm choking back the bitter taste of what I am

The darkness that grows inside like a cancer that's feeding

Reflected behind her eyes

As screams turn to silence

The pain grows to consume me

Counting the scars left in its wake

The endless torment of silence

Comes crashing down to separate

That darkness that grows inside like a cancer that's feeding

Reflected behind her eyes

As screams turn to silence
