Silence

What do you hear when there is no sound?

The wildness inside of me

can seem a lil bit crazy,

whenever I decide to let it out

most people decide leave me,

Till one day despite all that

you'll realise how much I cared,

I'm either too much or not enough

but at least i ain't that scared,

By living in the past

is like dying in the present,

but the journey is the best part

and there is no reset,

acceptance is the key

just let it . fucking . happen.

listen to the silence

its not a . fucking . weapon.

I spend too much time in my head

time to listen to what I haven't said,

I may have changed a lot

cause a lot has changed me,

don't disturb my peace

if you ain't ready for me,

its time to stop missing people

who keep forgetting about me.

I'm finally making art like this

so someone can finally listen,

finally opening new doors

so my dreams can come to fruition.

Tough times are just a blessing in disguise,

hope you can see that with your real eyes

hope you can realise

you can see the real lies.

Find me someone who's stronger than

a broken heart with a smiling face,

who will win that race

just go at your own pace.

I feel like I'm waiting for something

something to . fucking . happen.

listen to the silence

its not a . fucking . weapon

If this silence is killing you

put it into perspective,

something must be missing from you

or is this view subjective.

Sorry if this triggers you

I'm trying to be respective,

trying to understand us humans

psychological detective.

No need to study a course

just pay attention to the ones around,

you'll be surprised by the things thats you find

I'm still surprised by the things I've found.

Whatever you focus your mind on

that mindset will grow,

like if you focus on your goals n health

you will see that growth show.

Whenever I try to get too close

you are already gone,

i wanna say I'm done

but i know thats a long run

look at it starting up again

thats a . fucking . miss-happen

listen to the silence

its not a . fucking . weapon.
