Silent Torment
By Matt Schnirel
Life is the leading lesson
Learning comes along the way
You have to be ready
To make the most out of each day.
You my darling, if anyone,
Should really know it's true
You've got to choose life
Because you never know
When that choice will be taken from you.
So please live while you can
Place your trust in my hand...
Open up your silence
We all have endless words
So while it's your time
Sing like the morning birds
Always have something to say
Stop saving it all for another day
It just won't go away
Please...you have so much to say
Today is your day
It's your day...
Stop sitting in thoughts
And waiting for another distraction at the door
Begging them to take you away
To the point where you can ignore
What really eats inside you
What keeps you up at night
What you hear in every sad song
And what you see in every bright light.
I hope you don't feel sorry for yourself
Because I don't want you to anymore
I still think of you as perfect
The exact way I did before
But your silence eats inside me
As I'm sure it does in you
I just pray that someday you can break it
So you can get back to being
The true you...
